Monument to Saints Cyril and Methodius, Bronze monument in Tverskoy District, Moscow, Russia
The monument displays two figures in long robes, holding religious texts and standing on a pedestal with Old Slavonic inscriptions at its base.
Created by sculptor Vyacheslav Klykov and architect Yury Grigoryev, this monument opened on May 24, 1992, during the Day of Slavic Writing celebration.
The monument represents Saints Cyril and Methodius, ninth-century brothers who developed the first alphabet for Slavic languages and spread Christianity.
Located near public transportation stations, the monument stands in a public square where visitors can observe the detailed bronze work year-round.
The pedestal contains five spelling errors in its Old Slavonic inscription, including two mistakes in the word Russia itself.
