Place for the monument to" children of war " has not been chosen.

In the end, it was decided to set it in a small Park at the intersection of prospect Mira and streets of the Paris Commune. By the way, the place was not chosen by chance. Behind the bronze children's figures is the building where the hospital was located in the war years. There to wounded children came to support fighters a kind word, and sometimes and gifts.


When creating the composition, the sculptor was posed by his own children: 8-year-old daughter Karim and 5-year-old son Ernest. They posed in the clothes characteristic of that time, holding a daily ration of Leningrad – a girl with a piece of bread, and a boy with a can, such as wore water from the Neva river. Behind the kids is the lattice of the summer garden in Leningrad, and sleds. It is on these sleds transported the victims to the mass graves.
