Instructions
Step 1
One of the most famous and touching monuments is installed in Togliatti. The loyalty monument is dedicated to a dog that has been waiting for its owners for several years in one place. According to city history, the owners of the dog crashed in a car accident, and he patiently waited for their return at the same place, not agreeing to attempts to pick him up from the street. After the death of the dog, the public of the city came up with a proposal to erect a monument to the dog, which became the symbol of the city.
Step 2
Another statue, which is a symbol of the city, stands in Yaroslavl. A monument to the bear, which is also considered a symbol of the country, was erected in the historic center of the city. Interestingly, the bear sometimes "comes to life" and roars brutally, which frightens or delights the townspeople.
Step 3
A graceful and noble symbol of the city - the elk - is also installed in Monchegorsk. There are moose monuments in many cities of Russia: Izhevsk, Kashin, Vyborg, Moscow and other cities. Apparently, it's all about the beauty and grace of the animal.
Step 4

Pavlov at the end of his life insisted on the creation of this monument.
