Monument cat Semen
In 1987 the family returned home from vacation with his beloved cat Siamese breed. During a stop in Moscow, the family lost their pet, and he had to get to the house on their own through Russia. In memory of his journey it was erected the monument. Bronze Paunch with kind eyes do not really look like the emaciated vagabond Siamese breed, which 20 years ago appeared on the verge of Murmansk family Sinishin. And the knot with their belongings at this cat could not be. But let's not quibble, because who settled on October 2 bench at Lake Semenovski mustachioed and Stripes is not so much a monument to the real cat as a symbol of devotion to pets to their owners.
For a place under the sun struggled Cthulhu, a penguin and swing ... The advent of the first Murmansk small architectural form northerners obliged journalist Dmitry Katchalov. Last summer, his head came the idea to install a small sculpture in the city. Commercials "Siskin-Pyzhik" on Polar style. How does it have to be this monument, Dmitry decided to ask Murmansk. To take its place of honor among the polar attractions, the cat had to wrestle with serious competitors. Among the nominees were Cthulhu (underwater deity of fantasy), reindeer, boy, liznuvshy swing, canned fish, penguin, accident brought by air from another hemisphere and many others. By open vote at one of the sites of Murmansk northerners chose whom still stands immortalized in bronze. Simon won! Competition began sketching. The best project was recognized Muscovite Vinyukovoy Hope, who collected 1568 votes. The bronze figure was cast in the workshop of Yuri Borisenkova in the Chelyabinsk region. - None of Murmansk architect did not take part in the competition, - says Dmitry Katchalov. - Perhaps because of the fact that the prize was very small, we have promised to the winner just a coffee maker and the fact that the creation of the master will be released. Dmitri himself did not vote for the seeds, although the cat it is also very nice. He liked the idea of a boy clinging to the language of the swing. And the idea of a monument to the bank with cod liver "in Murmansk." After the city north, the sea. And it is more associated with the cold and the fish, rather than a legend about a faithful pet. The opening around the cat, as expected, dancing cats.
None of today's journalists could not find the cat himself and his family - the heroes of the article published in the "Journal of Murmansk" in 1994. But similar cases, the return home was a lot of animals. Dogs and cats in many years came to the thresholds of their houses, so that our cat is not the only one - of these heroes in the Arctic are many. However, most attention was riveted to her story Seeds. In the 90s about the brave and devoted cat even made a short film called "Love Story." And now purring even immortalized in bronze. One of the first Semyon photographed and the mayor of Murmansk Alexey Veller
If the cat's ear to whisper a wish, it will come true ...
The opening day of the monument was cold and rainy. But, despite the inclement weather, "seeds", children and adults gathered to greet the new resident Semyonov pier. At the designated site is surrounded by two beautiful wooden benches was a small sculpture, covered with gray cloth. Through it, the rain soaked already looked through the outline of chubby cat figurines with a kind but sad muzzle. In place of the celebration slowly stretched people in warm jackets and umbrellas, on the person who reads the desire to see them again, "the mustachioed and skipjack." Cheerful animators did not give the kids get bored and freeze in anticipation. Together they jump, run, circle dances - in a word, the opening of the monument took place under Semyon rebyatni contented laugh. Finally came the most solemn moment. The right to pull off the canvas, hiding from the eyes of Mike Farley came, gave students. And under the solemn music and applause brand new bronze sculpture was released. At the opening of the monument was also attended by Mayor Alex Weller and head of administration Andrew Sysoev. - We hope that the younger generation will still come to know the history of the city and realize that this is not Semenovskoe lake is named after the cat seeds, but simply the cat Semen comfortable here, - said Andrei Ivanovich. Now murmanchanin or any visitor of the city will be able to admire the cat that sits on a bench and holding in his paws a wand with a bundle. And, perhaps, the emergence of such frivolous at first glance, but the popular sites in the Arctic will become a good tradition.
And at that time ... In Novosibirsk, appeared mouse on a bike half meter monument installed in the NSU campus in honor of the physico-mathematical school. In a passerby new Novosibirsk monument, probably, cause bewilderment - half meter statue depicts three mice on a bicycle with curved wheels. One sitting on the wheel looking through a telescope, the other - detached reading some book, and the third is trying to hold on to the frame. The answer lies in the acronym Physics and Mathematics School at NSU - PMS. Students of this institution is traditionally called fymyshatami - that's you and mouse ...
