Monument to Saints Boris and Gleb

The official opening of the monument was timed to a significant date for Dmitrov. In 2006 it was the 600th anniversary of the monastery. And the monument was a kind of gift by city officials for monks and residents of the city. The author of the project was the sculptor and artist A. Rukovishnikov. The monument was consecrated.

The monument consists of two bronze figures on the horses of the brothers Boris and Gleb. The design is mounted on a pedestal. From history it is known that they were the children of Vladimir I - Kiev Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich. They often fought for the honor of their lands. Therefore, the artist depicted them in military clothes and with spears. There are many stories about brothers, their exploits and achievements. After their death, they were made saints.
