Description
[edit | edit source]The grand opening of the monument took place on January 25, 1973. The ceremony began with the speech of the chairman of the executive committee of the Moscow City Council V. F. Promyslov. Following that, the first secretary of the board of the Writers' Union of the USSR, G. M. Markov, spoke about the work of A. A. Fadeyev. The ceremony was also attended by candidates for membership in the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee, P. N. Demichev and M. S. Solomentsev.[3]
The sculptural ensemble is on the podium-site of granite blocks. In the center there is a bronze sculpture by A. A. Fadeyev on a pedestal made of gray granite. The writer is depicted full-length, in his right hand he holds a book. The sculptor gave a characteristic Fadeev's pose and manner to keep his head. To the left of the central sculpture are the heroes of the novel The Defeat. The bronze equestrian figures of Levinson and Metelitsa stood on the stirrups, as if preparing to rush into battle. On the right are five Komsomol members, members of the underground organization Young Guard.[1]
