Monument to the Silence of the Sailor

It is no secret that cats are of special importance to the northern capital of our country. In honor of the brave animals that conquered St. Petersburg from rats, the monument “Silence of the Matroskin” is dedicated, the bronze cat is the founder of the World Day of St. Petersburg Cats and Cats, the celebration of which is held annually on June 8. "Silence of the Matroskin" did not always live on the eaves of the house on Marata Street, she traveled around St. Petersburg. She lived with the entrepreneur Ilya Botka, then visited the legendary historian Sergei Lebedev, and then she was handed over to the leader of the creative association "Mitka" Dmitry Shagin, whose team not only put a veal on the cat, but also gave a name. Self-sufficient and carefully bypassing obstacles "Silence of Matroskin" can be seen on Marata street, 34 (Metro Vladimirskaya).
