Помнік плаўленаму сырку «Дружба», Bronze monument in Butyrsky District, Moscow, Russia
The Friendship Processed Cheese Monument depicts characters from Ivan Krylov's fable: a fox and crow sitting on a tree stump holding processed cheese.
The monument was initially installed in 2005 near the Karat cheese factory to commemorate 40 years of Druzhba cheese production in Moscow.
The sculpture combines elements from Russian literature with everyday food products, reflecting the intersection of classical fables and Soviet-era consumer items.
Located near Butyrskaya metro station on Rustaveli Street, the 200-kilogram bronze monument measures one by one and a half meters.
In 2008, thieves stole the cheese portion of the monument, which was later recovered during snow removal operations near a neighboring facility.
