Sculpture of Deer, Bronze monument in Blonje Park, Smolensk, Russia
The bronze sculpture stands at 1.5 times the size of a real deer, featuring detailed antlers weighing 200 kilograms each.
Kaiser Wilhelm II commissioned sculptor Richard Freese to create this bronze deer statue in 1910 after a successful hunt in Rominten Forest.
The sculpture arrived in Smolensk in 1945 when Soviet soldiers discovered it at Goering's residence and transported it as a gift to local children.
Visitors can find the monument near a granite stone with a brass plaque indicating the sculptor's name and creation date from 2010.
Local tradition suggests touching specific parts of the deer statue brings good fortune to those who participate in this practice.
