In Krasnoyarsk, 10 bronze sculptures of gophers in different areas of the city will appear. This was told by the Deputy Head of the Department of Events of the MAU “Krasgorepark” Larisa Grandma.

It is no coincidence that there are just 10 gophers – so many letters in the word “Krasnoyarsk”. According to legend, they fled from the island of Tatyshev and settled in the iconic places of the city. For example, a gopher-artist will appear in the square to them. Surikova. There will also be a river, a fighter, an astronaut and even a couple in love. Susliks will appear in the city at the expense of Grant, which Krasgorepark won. The size of the sculpture is 20 centimeters.

The first animal will be installed on June 1, a day of protection of children.

“We will definitely tell the story of each gopher. And the townspeople will help with the choice of names. In the future, we plan to conduct free excursions and introduce visitors to the history of the places where animals are placed, ”said Larisa Gramitskaya.

The installation of gophers is associated with the beginning of the third season of the Bright Coast project. It will begin on June 1 and end on August 30. At the sites of the city, during the summer weekend, creative master classes, musical performances, competitions and festivals will be organized. Anyone can become a participant in the project. To do this, you need to apply on the site. Details can be found by phone: 223-71-00.
