Fountain "Boys" (Moscow)

Russia / Moscow / Moscow

water, fountain, interesting place, listed building / architectural heritage, 1830s construction

The sculpture was made by Ivan Vitali (1794–1855).

The fountain was moved to this place in front of the former Alexandra summer palace in 1936 at the same time that the Presidium of the Soviet Academy of Science relocated from St. Petersburg to Moscow.

From 1835 until 1934 the fountain was located in Lubyanka Square. It was replaced by a statue of Felix Derzhinsky, a prominent revolutionary leader in the Communist movement and the founder of the CHEKA (the All Russian Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution, Sabotage and Speculation).
