4.5Monument to Bear(572 reviews) - That drunk guy knew what he was talking about Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
September 12, 2009 in Yaroslavl, a monument was solemnly bear, but not simple, but as a symbol of the city. The monument was erected specially for the year to the milestone anniversary (1000 years old town - the legend Yaroslavl was founded by Yaroslav the Wise in 1010). In Yaroslavl, there are other sites that involve the bear, but if there's portrayed just the bears, there is the sculptor was given the task to bear was ferocious as possible. According to historical chronicles known that Yaroslavl was built on the site of a pagan settlement > According to legend, at the time of the attack on the village, came to the aid of the Gentiles bear (or rather bear) and Yaroslav the Wise personally killed the bear, thus making it clear that none of the gods and their assistants will not save the village. After that the village board adopted the Yaroslav the Wise, a settlement on the site of a fortress was built. It was only in 1777, when Yaroslavl was founded viceroyalty, the bear came out of the legends in the arms of the city. To achieve maximum effect from the monument to the organizers recorded the bear's roar, and now from 9:00 to 21:00 of the monument to hear angry, I can even say a terrible roar of a bear. Near the monument is a plaque, a warning about this. Although it is not the first pillar, which I meet with sound, but that was an awesome sound, it is the first time. Monument in Tomsk Fortunately, there seems to be something he is also singing a certain phrase or loses, I do not remember. And monuments mobile phones seem to announce the time and show SMSes. In general, the lack of wonders, but the roar I like best, such as hard and viciously, and without the languid sweetness. The monument was erected next to the museum-reserve is at the intersection of Pervomayskaya and Nakhimson. But the bear's roar clearly audible in all areas of the Epiphany, so that when you're in Yaroslavl, do not miss it.See more..

4.5Mikhail Krug Monument(326 reviews) - Easily accessible and free to view monument Monuments & Statues
This is located in a pedestrianised area and if you pick the right moment, you can have this monument exclusively to yourself. I revisited the monument a number of times during my stay in Tver and didn't have to wait long for this to happen. It might be a good idea to gen up on this singer before you visit to really appreciate the monument. He is still fondly remembered today with single flowers strewn across his arms and this looks particularly effective when taking photos as the monument itself is dark in colour.See more..

If you are a fan of old Russian movies, or simply watched the old Soviet film "Afonya", then this small monument might be of interest to you. Located in the alleys behind the Alyosha Popovich Dvor hotel (near the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery) right by the Afonya cafe, it's a dedication to the two beloved characters from the Russian film with the same name. As the story has it – the film tells us about plumber Afanasiy Boschyov, and even though it's never stated in the movie, it is known, that many places in Yaroslavl were filmed for "Afonya" in 1974.See more..

5.0Marshak Monument(85 reviews) - Monument to the honorary citizen of Scotland Spent < 1 hour Monuments & Statues
When I was a child, I loved reading books by Marshak. I was surprised to learn that he was born in a shtetl in the current Voronezh oblast and he spent his childhood in a little suburb of Voronezh (now it is a part of Greater Voronezh). A little girl at his side is a monument to his daughter who tragically passed away in 1915 on the territory of Voronezh oblast. I would like to point out to some of the contributors who complain about the flawed location of the monument of the TA map. Guys, you yourself should correct it and not weep here in your contributions.See more..
This monument is beautiful and well situated near the main square. In some sense it is very human like as the famous Russian prince made sitting and everybody can come and touch it (like the monument of Peter the Great in Petropavlovsy Monastry in St.Petersburg made by Ernst Neizvestny). To my opinion it is much better then very official monument of the same Prince Dolgoruky in the center of Moscow. The only claim - there is no mention of the name of the Prince and the author of this sculpture.See more..

4.5Monument to Michail of Tver(82 reviews) - Saint or sinner? Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
This monumental equestrian statue, mounted on a large white pedestal in a spacious square in the city, does not have the sense of energy and motion so evident in that of Yurih Dolgoruky in Moscow’s Tverskaya Square, but given the density of traffic surrounding the latter, its peaceful location make it much safer to walk around and take a good look. A nephew of the great Alexander Nevsky, he ruled as Prince of Tver for a decade or so, antagonizing first Novgorod, then the Orthodox Church, and finally the Great Kahn of the Golden Horde (Tartars) who appointed him in the first place. He had his head chopped off by the Tartars that, in those days, was reason enough for Sainthood, and the Church -------- despite past quarrels ----- canonized him as St. Mikhail of Tver. Of course, none of this is evident from the horse or its rider, but at least it makes a good story for tour guides to relate. See more..

On the way to Pskov, on our way there was a new memorial to a Soviet soldier. This is a new memorial, built mainly at the expense of the residents of the city of Rzhev. Monument in honor of the fallen soldiers who defended the city of Rzhev during the Second World War. 17,000 names of soldiers killed in battles are engraved on the memorial.

Памятник работы Клыкова был установлен в 1998 году в преддверии 2000-летия Рождества Христова. Трехъярусный памятник высотой около 22 метров возвышается на северной оконечности Харьковской горы и смотрит вниз на город. Особую значимость памятнику придает тот факт, что теперь Белгород – приграничный с Украиной город, и памятник великому князю, который крестил Русь в Днепре в Киеве, еще раз напоминает о единстве народов…See more..

4.5Monument to A.P. Platonov(40 reviews) - Monument to the Russian George Orwell Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
It is an unusual monument to the unusual writer. In the west some call him the Russian George Orwell. His works were banned during the Soviet times. And his monument reflects his rocky lifetime. The monument was erected in 1999, but the high season came during the governor Gordeyev. He is a great admirer of Platonov. I would say it was impossible not to quote a few phrases from Platonov during those days. I walked by the monument at night.See more..
