      🏛 Monument to the Cats of Besieged Leningrad

      ул. Композиторов, 4 (во дворе)

      A bronze cat on a chair by a floor lamp in a residential courtyard — a memorial to the cats of the besieged city.

      • The monument was unveiled on 27 September 2016 at the request of residents of the surrounding buildings.
      • The chair stands on “parquet”: during the Siege, parquet and furniture were burned in stoves.
      • After the war, cats were brought to Leningrad by the trainload, including from Siberia, to fight the rats.
      • The author of the project is Natalya Ryseva.
