Monument to the Kitten from Lizyukov Street

The monument displays a bronze kitten and crow perched together on a tree sculpture at the intersection of Lizyukov Street and General Lizukov Street in the Kominternovsky district. The two animal figures stand side by side to create a recognizable scene made entirely of metal.

The monument was unveiled on December 5, 2003, marking the first statue dedicated to a Soviet animated film character in Russia. The kitten character comes from a 1988 animation that was known throughout the country.

This monument embodies the connection between generations through its representation of Vasily, a character from the 1988 animated film.

The location sits at a busy street intersection and is easy to reach on foot when walking in the area. The bronze figure stands at normal height and can be viewed from all sides.

Local residents regularly dress the bronze figure in handmade clothing that changes with the seasons and special occasions. This practice shows how the sculpture has become woven into the daily rhythm of the neighborhood.
