пушкин лох

see remarkable buildings and monuments. From ancient times people have created works of art to illustrate significant events. Monuments and sculptures are among these creations. They’ve been formed for different purposes. Some monuments were worshipped by tribal people, some were meant to show the power of nation, some were connected with memorable events.
There are many monuments or statues in Russian cities, each conveying certain meaning. I would like to tell you a little bit about the famous statue of Pushkin in the center of Moscow.

it‘s dedicated to the brilliant Russian poet and writer – Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin.It was set up at Pushkinskaya Square on June 6th, 1880 to commemorate the writer’s birthday. In 1950 it was moved to the opposite side of the square, where it rests until present days. The monument is made of bronze and is about 11 meters tall. The poet is wearing a frock and a long coat over it. He is captured in thoughtful mood. It seems that he is working on another large composition. There are four cast-iron lanterns in the corners of the monument. The base is decorated with lines from his poem, called “Monument”.

in the middle of busy Moscow. Right in front of the statue there is a beautiful fountain and a number of flowerbeds. I like visiting this place, especially in summer. The breeze from the fountain cools down the air and it feels good to sit on one of the little benches in vicinity. It helps me to relax and forget about the time
