Cat Vasilisa

Cat VasilisaM. Sadovaya Street 7. First Floor.

 

 It appears, that in the days of World War II in our city were brought such cats from Yaroslavl' to defend the city from rats. The author of the idea Lebedev S. and scuiptor Petrovitchev B. called the cat Vasilisa. and her friend cat - Yelisey. As it usually happens with such objects, they became the part of our city traditions, if you throw a coin onto cornice where Vasilisa sits - your wish will come true. The sculpture was opened in 2000.

 

Location: M. Sadovaya Street 7
