Horse Heads Monument
A new monument appeared in Moscow. Actually it should commemorate a famous Russian writer Sholokhov, but people say that the coolest part are the horse heads coming right out of the concrete slab.

i would shit myself if i saw this in the dark;
Looks like the horses are swimming, or sth like it… but they are too fucking close. It’s bizarre. How do they (not the horses) intend to “commemorate” something with this?!
Maybe it’s a warning! “This is what happens when horses mess up with the mafia!”
That monument looks 100 years old.
That is new?
Have you ever seen old bronze? it turns green. this one is brown…so yes one would suggest that it is new.
dam
If I was in charge it would be gold and all iced out n shit!
xyplex2,
Do you know where I can get a good Cuban cigar in Detroit?
Go south to Windsor. They have dem badboys in the cigar shops.
I hear they have good strip clubs too. I wouldn’t know though.
Hell YEAH they DO!!
Where do you think all the playas go to?
Except for rich arab night.
Dem nights are rediculus.
Thanks. I’m heading for the tunnel.
Thanks xyplex2. I’m heading for the tunnel.
couple of bull shit artists
what a different perception of art. i like russian and soviet art.
looks like another Tseriteli, that guy sh!ts sculptures all over moscow
I have wanted to read Quiet Flows The Don for some time, but not a common find in used bookstores in the US, and I’m too cheap to buy a new copy (only used literature for me, thanks).
Try Powell’s Books.
Are you some tree hugging homo from Portland?
What a dick you are.
Powell’s has And Quiet Flows the Don, by Sholokhov($8.95). You know, the Russian author honoured by the above monument.
“Кому книжку ‘Тихий Дон’, кому порваный гандон…”
Both are about equally valuable.
no. . . are you some goat-humping inbred from Texas?
there’s a lot of good literature out there to read, it’s all worth reading, so why pay full price? besides, if you wait long enough the book you are looking for will present itself in the used book store, or abandoned on a train or in a motel room.
It think it is a fascinating illustration of the rate of progressive and constructive evolution in Russia. Wait…if that was the case the horses would be going backwards.
Please post a wider shot of the entire monument. Thank you.
They are sweeming in Don river
Now it makes sense
And when they reach other side it is too steep to get out of the river and they all drown too tired to fight strong current.
You must be the author of this sculpture lol
Horses heads buried neck deep in concrete. Yeah,that would be Mafia art
Awesome O_O
UCHITE OLBANSKIY!!
I like horses.
