Every city can boast of unique, unusual, at times weird monuments. Moscow is not an exception.
One of such sculptural groups was presented by Barbara Bush to Gorbachev's wife, Raisa after their visit of the USA. "Give way to the ducklings" located near the pond of Novodevichy Convent is much loved by Moscow children who come for a walk with their parents to this park and who like mounting on ducklings as if riding them like horses.
You might be surprised to hear there is a monument to melted cheese "Friendship", Russian brand which was decided to preserve in the hearts of Russians. It is worth saying that this sculpture looks rather symbolic. A crow and a fox sitting on the stump embrace each other. Despite the contradiction to the plot of a famous fable about "The Fox and the Crow", this sculpture symbolizes their friendship.
Another monument which can not leave you indifferent is located on Bolotnaya Square. It is known as "Children are the victims of adults' vices" put up by a modern sculptor M.Shemiakin. This composition was thought to be an allegory of fight with evil and vices, as an appeal to salvation of modern and future generations.These twelve human vices (drug addiction, prostitution, theft,alcoholism,ignorance, irresponsible science, sadism, for those without memory, poverty, war and indifference in the lead) which affect young generations show the situation in the world and appeal us to look around.
