Friendship of Peoples Fountain
Friendship of Peoples Fountain, Decorative fountain at VDNKh exhibition center in Moscow, Russia
The fountain features 16 bronze female statues covered in gold leaf surrounding a central wheat sheaf structure in an octagonal pool.
Architects Konstantin Topuridze and Grigory Konstantinovsky designed this monumental fountain for the grand opening of VDNKh exhibition center in 1954.
Each gilded female statue represents one Soviet republic, wearing traditional costumes and holding agricultural products specific to their region.
The fountain operates with 800 water jets powered by 8 pumps, creating varying water patterns across its 3,500 square meter surface area.
The central copper bowl contains a 7.4-meter-tall composition of wheat, sunflowers, and industrial hemp stalks made from metal.
