Where is the monument to Peter I? Description of the sights of Moscow. History of creation.

Address of the monument to Peter I: Russia, Moscow, Krymskaya embankment, 10.

The monument to Peter is a construction that is unique in its characteristics, almost ninety-eight meters high. The building is one of the tallest memorials on the planet and the tallest in Russian Federation. They worked on the design and construction of Peter for almost a year.

The frame part of the structure is made of stainless steel. It is worth noting that the ship itself, the sculpture of the king and the lower part of the monument were assembled in parts, after which they were installed on a pedestal. For cultural heritage countries used bronze of the highest quality. The scroll, which is in the king's hand, and the crosses on the banners were gilded. Needless to say, the monument offers tourists a truly majestic view.

The grandeur, uniqueness and comparative youth of the monument gathers a lot of controversy around it: for example, experts note that the object of controversy is an almost exact copy of the sculpture of Columbus, which the sculptor Zurab Tsereteli made for the celebration of the "500th anniversary of America", but could not sell.

The sailors of Russia are also pouring fire into the discussions. They express dissatisfaction with the work. In their opinion, the obelisk created by Lev Efimovich Kerbel more accurately personified the theme of the monument. Indeed, connoisseurs maritime history note that the Andreevsky pennant is not in its place; according to custom, it was hung out on the karma of the ship. Also, on the construction are decorated with St. Andrew's flag rasters, which were intended for ramming during an enemy attack and were not decorated with flags.

The sculpture caused a major public outcry among the residents of Moscow, which is due to the place where the object found its refuge. In the capital, mass actions were held against the bronze king with posters "You were not standing here." However, there is an opinion that such pickets were planned in advance, and discontent among the local population was fueled even before the monument was erected. Such an opinion is justified - for example, political strategist Marat Gelman believes that such sentiments around the first person of all Rus' were directed directly by the former mayor Yuri Mikhailovich Luzhkov, and not at all for aesthetic reasons. Remarkably, after the resignation of Luzhkov, the controversy around the memorial subsided somewhat and has now completely disappeared. The decisive point in the discussions around the cultural heritage was put by Sergey Baidakov.

The inhabitants of the city are rather skeptical about the obelisk of the emperor. But, despite the skepticism of the population, the bronze Peter is one of the most significant and visited buildings of the capital. The flurry of indignation towards the sculpture aroused great interest among tourists. Today guests from different countries they rush to see this majestic building and capture themselves against its background.

The monument "In commemoration of the 300th anniversary of the Russian fleet" is also known as a monument to Peter I. A ship with the figure of Peter was placed on a huge pedestal. It is located not far from the Cathedral of Christ the Savior on an artificial island at the point of separation of the Vodootvodny Canal and the Moscow River itself. It was installed in 1997, the opening took place on September 5, 1997 as part of the celebration of the 850th anniversary of Moscow.

Zurab Tsereteli created it by order of the Government of Moscow, although before that it was planned a year earlier for the 300th anniversary Russian Fleet put up a monument according to the sketch of Academician Lev Kerbel, and opposite the Tretyakov Gallery. However, the Moscow authorities considered Tsereteli's project more promising.

This monument is the highest in Russia, and in the world sculptural monuments above not so much. The total height reaches 98 meters. However, the public perceived such a huge monument, and even located in this place, negatively. Nevertheless, the monument simply cannot but attract the attention of those who get acquainted with the sights of the capital.

Engineering structure made of different materials and collected piecemeal. The main material is high-quality bronze, which has been sandblasted, patinated and opened with protective wax and varnish. The pedestal is a stainless steel frame decorated with bronze cladding. The ship and the figure of Peter itself were also separate elements, which were then mounted on a pedestal. The ship's shrouds are also made of stainless steel. But the sails are made by punching copper to reduce the weight of the structure. Some elements like the scroll in the hands of Peter and St. Andrew's crosses on the flags are gilded. By the way, St. Andrew's flags are mobile and play the role of weathercocks.

The artificial island itself, on which the monument is located, is not just a reinforced concrete foundation, but a composition with fountains, which should give the impression that the ship is really cutting through the water.

In the monument, experts indicate a number of inaccuracies from the point of view of maritime history, they did not take into account the wishes to see busts of famous naval commanders inside, and depict the statue of Peter I in the form of a military sailor of the 18th century. The monument was repeatedly proposed to be dismantled, they even tried to blow it up.
