Monument "Give way to the ducklings"

Give way to ducklings" - one of the unusual sights of Moscow, located in the park near the Novodevichy Monastery. The fairy tale “Way to the Ducklings!” by the American writer Robert McCloskey, was a great success with readers. Therefore, it was decided to put in Boston a monument to the main character - mother duck and her ducklings: Jack, Cuck, Lack, Mac, Neck, Quack, Peck, Quack.

In our country, the sculpture was installed in 1991 after a visit to the United States of Mikhail Gorbachev and his wife. While in Boston on a business visit, they showed interest in the composition, and Barbara Bush decided to give it to Raisa Maksimovna. The monument represents a kind of reconciliation between Russia and the United States.

To get to this unusual attraction, located at the address: Moscow, Novodevichy Passage 1, you can take the metro, leaving at the station Sportivnaya.
