Fountain with Golden Statues

Fountain with Golden Statues

Here is one more picture of the beautiful fountain "Friendship of Nations" which I took almost 1 year ago. The fountain is one of the main attractions at the All-Russian Exhibition Center (VVTs). The Exhibition was founded at 1939 as agricultural exhibition of Soviet Union. During the years of Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) this exhibition was closed, and was only reopened in 1954 after death of Stalin (1953). The Fountain has gilded statues of maidens in the national costumes of the sixteen Soviet republics demurely encircle a golden wheat sheaf. In 2006 it has been renovated, so that you can see that the statues are shining gold as like recently made.

We booked Arthur for an entire day of sightseeing around Moscow. He gave us a grand tour and really brought the buildings and sights alive with his knowledge of their history. We had no trouble understanding his English. We enjoyed and trusted his services so much that we booked him on the spot for an airport transfer as well. We look forward to seeing him again on our next trip to Moscow.
