      A big 1954 fountain at the centre of VDNKh: gilded statues around a sheaf of grain in a granite bowl.

      • The fountain was built for the opening of the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition in 1954; the architect was Konstantin Topuridze.
      • The 16 gilded girls in national costumes symbolise the Union republics; in 1954 there were 16, including the Karelo-Finnish SSR.
      • In the centre, on a granite pedestal, is a sheaf of wheat, industrial hemp and sunflowers.
      • The fountain has 800 jets that constantly change their pattern.
      • The fountain was restored in 2018–2019: about 5 kg of gold went into regilding the figures.
      • The opening of the VDNKh fountain season in spring and its closing in autumn are notable city events with concerts.
