Monday
Transportation Monument
Back in 1735, twenty-fifth anniversary celebration
of the great victory of the
Russian army over Swedes at Poltava was a monument to "Samson tearing the lion's mouth. " The author of
this work
of art
made by
the sculptor
B.-K.
Rastrelli. The song itself
was plated in the original form. Years passed, sculpture changed from lead to bronze, then Samson disappeared
during the
German occupation
and then
was cast
in 1947. Samson was so young and handsome he is often gold in the 70's, 90's and 00-ies without dismantling, but here came in 2010, and our "retired" it's time to
go is for major repairs. Omit the details of the restoration
work and go to the middle of April
2011,
when he was in all its glory went to his place of service.
Customer carriage made Peterhof Museum-Reserve, and the sponsor of the restoration
- the
Savings Bank (14 million rubles)..
Samson
weighs
3 tons, and its dimensions in meters to three and a half the height and width of about two meters. Samson carried the day in the
center, the task was possible to repeat the
trip in 1947, when Samson came back after his loss, only if he was driving without a gold.
As can be seen in the photo, accompanied by a
trawl
DPS patrol car, its task was to ensure the unimpeded
movement of
trains. In addition to
DPS, the convoy was a police car and the car AIF, which were a direct online broadcasting, as well as machine maintenance
of the
company's
carrier. Motorcade was traveling
at a speed
of 30
kilometers per hour, without traffic lights.
I wish to thank the group of
companies Largus for the material!
