City monuments of Samara as cultural heritage: image of Pinocchio

Monuments in the city space are the cultural objects which help to better understand the history of the metropolis, his place in the history of the country. Until recently the monuments in Samara have established only the leaders of the revolutionary past of Russia, heroes of the great Patriotic war. Contemporary sculpture presents over a wide range from the heroic (arch workers) to cinematic and literary (Y. Detochkin, I. F. Sukhov, the good soldier Svejk, uncle Stepan-policeman and Pinocchio). A story about one of them will help the sister town to Samarkand to see Samara updated.
