      🏛 K. K. Grot Monument

      пр. Шаумяна (сквер школы-интерната им. Грота)

      A monument of 1906 by Antokolsky: a bust of the founder of the guardianship for the blind and a blind girl with a book.

      • In 1881 Konstantin Grot created the Empress Maria Alexandrovna Guardianship for the Blind.
      • Mark Antokolsky managed to sculpt only the girl — her model was a pupil of the school for the blind, Elena Supse.
      • The book on the girl's lap is real: Ushinsky's “Detsky Mir”, open at page 95.
      • In 1963 the monument moved here from Pesochnaya Street, following the school.
