MONUMENT TO THE CREATORS OF THE NUCLEAR SHIELD OF THE COUNTRY
The monument dedicated to the residents of Vladimir, veterans of special risk units and the creators of the country's nuclear shield in Vladimir, is located in the park on Dobroselskaya Street, near the house 201 b.
The monument was inaugurated on September 4, 2009.
The authors of the monument are sculptor Igor Chernoglazov and architect Vladimir Toropov.
Wide circles of Vladimir residents learned about this category of their neighbors only after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. Together with the rise of the social movement of the Chernobyl liquidators, the veterans of special risk units also emerged from under the veil of state secrets. Members of special risk units went through tests of nuclear weapons and military radioactive substances; military exercises with the use of nuclear weapons; they manually collected nuclear charges (until 1961); eliminated radiation accidents on nuclear submarines and other military installations. The creators of the Motherland's nuclear shield are an even wider layer of veterans, including many scientists, military men, and workers. For decades, these heroes had to hide why they had signs of radiation sickness and other health damage. Many died before reaching either national recognition or special benefits. These veterans are comparable to the Chernobyl veterans in terms of the type of damage to their health, demands to the authorities for recognition of merit and benefits, and at first they acted together. But gradually specificity prevailed.

“You can read this locator grid and the country that was, that is not, that we have lost. This, in my opinion, is very important, especially since all these connections are indicated there, where these location points were located, ”Igor Chernoglazov comments on the idea.
The Vladimir monument is the only memorial sign in Russia dedicated to the soldiers of the radio engineering troops. The Union of Veterans of Radio Engineering Troops raised about 3 million rubles for the installation of the monument, and the Ministry of Defense, in turn, helped to implement such an expensive project.

MEMORIAL TO SOLDIERS-INTERNATIONALISTS "Grieving Angels"
Memorial to Soldiers-Internationalists "Grieving Angels"
The memorial to the soldiers-internationalists in Vladimir is located on Oktyabrsky Avenue. The monument is dedicated to the memory of soldiers who performed their international duty on the territory of other states that fell in local conflicts.
Memorial "Grieving Angels" was opened on November 11, 2000.
The authors of the memorial were sculptor Igor Chernoglazov and architect Nikolai Volkov. Three angels in mournful poses sat down on three sides of either the target or the wheel of fortune. And on the fourth side, facing the audience, there is a small black stele with a dedicatory inscription: in memory of soldiers who performed international duty on the territory of other states who fell in local military conflicts, and servicemen who died while serving in the Armed Forces.
The idea of the memorial arose shortly after the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan, but it was realized in this form and right here - in the park near the house 11 on Oktyabrsky Prospekt. Although at first the mothers and comrades of the fallen conceived the monument in a more prominent and elevated place, as evidenced by the foundation stone on Studena Mountain with a similar dedication.
Nevertheless, the "Grieving Angels" have become a traditional venue for commemoration rallies associated with important dates in the military history of the past three decades. These are Afghanistan, and Chechnya, South Ossetia and other hot spots where Vladimir soldiers died and continue to die in "peaceful" time. Fresh flowers, wreaths and other symbols of memory appear at the "Grieving Angels" and on the day of the Airborne Forces.

Monument to the Vladimir Cherry
The art object "Vladimir Cherry" was erected to commemorate the revival of snow-white Vladimir cherry orchards.
On October 10, 2014, the heads of the region and the city of Vladimir officially opened the renovated Spassky Hill - the first site of the future pedestrian and promenade zone of Vladimir. Top officials arrived to cut the ribbon - Governor Svetlana Orlova, accompanied by Mayor Sergei Sakharov and head of the city administration Andrei Shokhin.
Works on the beautification of Spassky Hill did not cost the city treasury anything: the architectural project was made free of charge, and the construction was carried out at the expense of sponsors. In the center of the site is the Vladimir Cherry Art Object. The author is the Vladimir sculptor Igor Chernoglazov.

MOSCOW, November 4 - RIA Novosti. Russian President Vladimir Putin, together with Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia, will open a monument to the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir on Borovitskaya Square in Moscow. The installation of the monument and the improvement of the adjacent territory lasted two weeks; Muscovites will have the opportunity to see a new attraction on National Unity Day.
The embodiment of the idea
The idea of creating a monument to Prince Vladimir appeared at the initiative of the Russian Military Historical Society (RVIO) and the Moscow government in early 2015. Initially, the monument was planned to be erected on the observation deck of the Sparrow Hills on the Day of National Unity, timed to coincide with the appearance of a new metropolitan attraction on the millennium since the death of the ruler. However, the proposed natural area has the status of a specially protected area, so the Moscow government invited the residents of the capital to decide on their own where the monument will be located.
In early November 2015, the foundation stone was opened at the site of the monument. Borovitskaya Square is included in the buffer zone of the Moscow Kremlin and Red Square world heritage site, in connection with which the design of the monument required additional refinement, taking into account all the comments of UNESCO.
A working meeting on this issue was held in Moscow in the summer. UNESCO Deputy Director General Francesco Bandarin approved the proposals to reduce the height of the monument, as well as architectural solutions for the development of the surrounding area.
The monument to Prince Vladimir was designed by the People's Artist of Russia Salavat Shcherbakov. Until now, in Russia, the memory of the Grand Duke was immortalized only by the image of the Baptist of Russia in the composition of the Millennium of Russia monument in Veliky Novgorod.
The installation of the monument began on October 15 and lasted a little over two weeks. The main element, the figure of Prince Vladimir, was brought to Borovitskaya Square, after which work on welding the missing parts (hands, crosses and cloak hems), cleaning the seams and bronzing were carried out according to the schedule. The opening of the monument is scheduled for November 4.
The celebration will be attended by members of the Russian government, deputies of both chambers of the Federal Assembly, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, as well as representatives of public organizations, scientists, culture and art.
Symbol of great history
Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky has repeatedly emphasized that "an appeal to the memory of St. Vladimir, who determined the entire thousand-year path of development of Russian culture and statehood, is of particular importance for Moscow." The Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince was revered for centuries as a prayerful defender of Moscow princes and tsars.
General Director of the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center Valery Fedorov told RIA Novosti that about 60% of Muscovites approve of the installation of a monument to Prince Vladimir on Borovitskaya Square, whose image embodies not only traditional values, the unity of peoples and the great history of the Russian state, but also symbolizes the entry of Russia into the Christian world .
He added that Borovitskaya Square is the most suitable place for the monument, since now the monument to one of the founders of the Russian state will be located within walking distance from the Kremlin. According to most Russians, this is appropriate in the context of the image of Prince Vladimir in general, and also attractive to tourists.
“The main thing is not exactly how he looks, how many meters he has, what facial expression he has, how much he conveys a portrait resemblance ... The main thing is that the figure of St. Vladimir itself is perceived as a symbol of great history, traditional values based on Orthodoxy, and a symbol of unity peoples living in Russia," Fedorov said.
Vladislav Kononov, executive director of the RVIO, in an interview with RIA Novosti, stressed that "understanding and public compromise on this monument, symbolizing more than a thousand years of history and the unity of our state, have been achieved." He said that in the evening everyone would be able to learn more about Prince Vladimir and the monument dedicated to him within the framework of the All-Russian Night of the Arts.
"The Russian Military Historical Society is announcing the first nationwide tour from 6 p.m. with a detailed story about Prince Vladimir and the installation of a monument on Borovitskaya Square. The tour will be conducted by the scientific director of the Russian Military Historical Society, Mikhail Myagkov," Kononov said.
Moscow. November 4th. site - In the center of Moscow on Borovitskaya Square the opening ceremony of the monument to Prince Vladimir took place. It was attended by President Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill, Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky and Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin.
Speaking at the event, Vladimir Putin said that Russian society must confront modern challenges and threats, following the spiritual precepts left by Prince Vladimir. The President emphasized that Prince Vladimir went down in history forever as a collector and defender of Russian lands, as a far-sighted politician who laid the foundations of a strong, unified, centralized state.
After the President's speech, Patriarch Kirill consecrated the monument to the holy Prince Equal-to-the-Apostles.
The initiators of the construction of the monument were the Russian Military Historical Society (RVIO) and the city authorities. In February 2015, the Moscow City Duma decided that a 25-meter monument weighing 300 tons and costing 94 million rubles would appear on Sparrow Hills. But after an active protest from local residents and a number of experts, the RVIO turned to the Moscow City Duma with a request to find a new site for the monument. Based on the results of an online survey, Borovitskaya Square was chosen.
On September 9, 2015, the Moscow City Duma approved the installation of a monument on Borovitskaya Square. The author of the monument is the sculptor Salavat Shcherbakov.
The decision was initially made without the consent of UNESCO, although experts from the International Council for the Preservation of Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) spoke of the possibility of a negative impact of the monument on the Kremlin as a world heritage site.
In early 2016, Francesco Bandarin, Deputy Director General of UNESCO for Culture, visited Moscow and made recommendations on the height of the monument. As a result, a new project was adopted, which was sent to the World Heritage Center and for ICOMOS examination. The Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to UNESCO noted that the project was received positively.
After the discussion, it was decided to reduce the monument: according to the updated project, the height of the pedestal of the monument is 2.75 meters, the height of the sculpture itself is 12 meters, in addition, the cross in the right hand of Prince Vladimir rises three meters above the figure. The total height of the monument is 17.75 meters.
As the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation Vladimir Medinsky stated earlier, all work on the installation of the monument to Prince Vladimir was carried out with strict consideration of the recommendations of UNESCO.
Work on the installation of the monument began on Borovitsky Hill on October 16, 2016, where the monument was delivered from a foundry in Khimki.

Story
The project of the monument to the baptist of Russia Vladimir Svyatoslavich, already at the stage of development, caused a strong reaction from the public.
Pavel Petrov, CC BY-SA 3.0 Plans to erect a monument to Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich in Moscow on November 4, 2015, dedicated to the millennium since his death, became known at the beginning of 2015. On February 11, 2015, the Russian Military Historical Society published information that it held a competition for which 10 projects were submitted - a commission headed by Archimandrite Tikhon by secret ballot chose one of two projects from the workshop of the People's Artist of the Russian Federation Salavat Shcherbakov (architect Vasily Danilov).
original address
It was announced that the monument, 24 meters high and weighing 330 tons, should be installed on, at the edge of the hill - where the observation deck, popular among Muscovites, is located. A fundraising for the construction was announced, on February 25, the installation of the monument was supported by the Moscow City Duma.
However, the territory running from the observation deck and down to the Moskva River belongs to the Vorobyovy Gory nature reserve and has the status of a specially protected natural area, which does not allow construction work to be carried out - with the exception of those directly related to the activities of the reserve. Also, the choice for the construction of a zone dangerous from the point of view of landslide processes caused concern (out of more than 400 million rubles needed for the installation of the monument, at least 300 million were required for work to strengthen the slope).
final address
In August 2015, the Moscow government invited Muscovites to choose the location of the monument by voting in the Active Citizen mobile application: Borovitskaya Square was also offered as options. The last option won a relative majority of votes - almost 35% of the 234.5 thousand voters.

A brief outline of the controversy about the installation of the monument
The preparation of the monument to Prince Vladimir for installation caused a lively public controversy.
In particular, the initial project of its installation on Sparrow Hills gave rise to a public protest movement. The following arguments were put forward as the basis of the protest: the Moscow City Duma held neither the open competition of projects required by law, nor the environmental review, and the very construction of the monument on this site was in conflict with the legislation on the protection of cultural heritage, interfered with the established architectural ensemble and actually eliminated the value of the observation deck with its well-established views of the city, Muscovites began collecting signatures demanding that the project be stopped. On April 21, the creation of a city-wide coalition in defense of the Sparrow Hills was announced. By early June, nearly 60,000 people had signed the petition. A petition was also created in support of the decision of the Moscow City Duma to establish a monument, which by the end of May was signed by 52,000 people.
The public movement "Arhnadzor" proposed alternative options for installing the monument, the sculptor Salavat Shcherbakov himself did not insist on the observation deck of the Sparrow Hills: "Moscow is a beautiful city, there are a lot of places to accommodate" - while the author of the monument was ready to adjust its size.
Public controversy was not limited to Sparrow Hills. Preparations for the installation at the Borovitskaya area also caused heated discussion.
In particular, as Kommersant reported in August 2015, preparatory work on the installation began without UNESCO approval, although Borovitskaya Square is included in the buffer zone of the Kremlin and Red Square World Heritage Site. (At one time, it was planned to build a depository for the Moscow Kremlin Museum-Reserve there, but in 2010 the authorities abandoned this project.) The height ranges from 5 to 19 meters, the height of the main quadrangle is just over 16.5 meters.
However, Archpriest Vladimir Vigilyansky, commenting at the end of August 2015 on three installation options submitted for Internet voting (Borovitskaya and Lubyanskaya squares, Zaryadye), said that each of them has its own advantages as a location for the monument, but opponents of the monument will look for any Suggestions for not posting:
Opponents of the establishment of the monument in each of these options will look for all sorts of pretexts, even the most absurd ones, for their protests. Cause? Very simple: the civilizational choice of St. Vladimir for the creation of Russian statehood was associated with Christianity - hated by both the extreme right and the extreme left.
On September 9, 2015, the Moscow City Duma decided to erect a monument on Borovitskaya Square - although the site itself was not in the city, but in federal ownership. The next day, the administration of the Tverskoy municipal district decided not to coordinate the installation of the monument in this place. Shortly thereafter, a Moscow City Duma deputy from this district, Elena Shuvalova, created a petition on Change.org addressed to UNESCO Director General Irina Bokova and Russian President Vladimir Putin with a request to prevent the installation of a monument on Borovitskaya Square - this petition did not find a response from the Russian authorities.
The recently erected monument to Prince Vladimir, who baptized Russia, due to the significance of this event, was bound to be in the capital. Hero of folk epics, educator and builder of temples played a big role in national history. The recognition of Christian values led the nascent state to the possibility of developing according to a civilized pattern. A person of this magnitude appears infrequently, and the monument to Prince Vladimir the Great reflects the greatness of this historical character.
The whole epic with the decision on where the monument to Prince Vladimir should stand is connected with a number of aspects. This is the desire to make the monument one of the leading sights, and certain restrictions on the height of the monument. The fact is that according to the rules of UNESCO, objects included in the World Heritage List should not be overshadowed by taller buildings. The Kremlin is unconditionally included in this list, so it was not possible to erect a monument to Prince Vladimir closer than on Borovitskaya Square.
Perhaps this is for the best - the location near the Pashkov House is symbolic. Part of the main library of the country is located here, and the role of Vladimir in the dissemination of book education is very large. After all, in other ways, except for competent sermons of the new religion, it was impossible to break the attachment to paganism.
For all the grandeur and expressiveness of the main figure, the monument to Prince Vladimir is successfully complemented by bronze bas-reliefs of a triptych behind the back of the Baptist of Russia standing with a huge cross and sword. Three related fragments describe the difficult path of the hero of the monument and the entire Russian nation to the recognition of Christianity and conversion to this faith. The Kyiv prince devoutly worshiped pagan deities, lived according to barbarian laws, having five wives and hundreds of concubines.
Choosing Christianity, he was one of the first Slavs to adopt a new religion, having been baptized in Chersonese. Religion was supposed to determine the future development of the country and the people, and the choice of faith is shrouded in legends. The exaggeration of the princely refusal to accept Islam because of the prohibition of alcohol by this religion, and of the Jewish faith because of the nation's dispersion around the world, is unfounded, although it is confirmed by authoritative sources.
Bas-reliefs complement the monument to Prince Vladimir
The bas-reliefs behind the monument should be viewed from the middle image in order to trace the chronology of events. In the center is a font where Prince Vladimir performs a baptismal ablution in the presence of his retinue. Byzantine priests perform the ceremony at the behest of the emperors Basil and Constantine, who are grateful for the prince's lifting of the armed siege of Chersonese. Following the leader, the soldiers of the Russian army also performed the ceremony. The image is crowned with the Holy Trinity in the central arch of the cathedral.
The right bas-relief is dedicated to the spread of Christianity across the expanses of Russian lands. The baptism of the people of Kiev in the waters of the Dnieper is performed by Vladimir himself, overshadowed by the image of Christ and the Orthodox cross. The background of the picture shows picturesque forests and rivers, cities and cathedrals, personifying the spread of Christianity in Russia. There was no place left for the image of pagan gods, whose idols in the recent past were placed on the hills by the then pagan Prince Vladimir.
The bas-relief on the left depicts the deeds of Prince Vladimir after the adoption of the new faith. He is shown in the form of a rider, accompanied not only by warriors, but also by peasants and artisans. The sword sheathed and the letter in the right hand symbolize the humane methods of annexing new lands, accompanied by the construction of new Russian settlements. At the top, in the nimbus of saints, the prince's wife, the sister of the Byzantine emperors Anna and Vladimir's successors on the thrones of the Kyiv and Moscow principalities are depicted.
Most of all, the monument to Prince Vladimir is notable for the central figure on a relatively low pedestal. Of the military armor, he wears only a helmet, and the sword in his left hand is used as a staff. The prince's right hand holds an Orthodox cross, as if overshadowing all visitors to the square, and in their face - the whole Russian people, all their native land. The sculptor Shcherbakov, who created the monument to Prince Vladimir, can safely add this work to the list of his creative successes.
Eyewitnesses claim that the monument to Prince Vladimir that appeared seriously enlivened the influx of the public to Borovitskaya Square. When visiting Moscow, do not forget to look into this area of the capital. There you can appreciate the new view of the Kremlin, as well as the monument to Prince Vladimir, one of the most prominent figures in Russian history.
