This sculpture stands in the courtyard of the Stables building on the Elagin Island. It was created in 1927. The author of the sculpture is M. Manizer. Two such sculptures were made, one was installed in Moscow, the other in Leningrad, on the central alley of the park of culture and rest. In 1987 the park was reconstructed and the Soviet-era sculptures were removed.
