Schinosaur, Tire sculpture in Mnevniki, Russia
The Schinosaur consisted of a steel pipe frame covered with automobile tires of various sizes, painted in bright colors of blue, yellow, and red.
Local car enthusiasts constructed this playground structure in 1987 near the First Motor Company, using recycled tires from neighboring automobile repair shops.
The Schinosaur represented a significant example of Soviet-era public art, demonstrating creative use of recycled materials in urban residential areas.
Standing six meters tall near residential buildings at Mnevniki Street, the structure served as a gathering point for children from surrounding neighborhoods.
The structure gained such recognition among residents that some individuals marked their connection to the neighborhood by getting Schinosaur tattoos.
