Description
In the city of Samara, in addition to extensive parks and squares, there are also small corners of greenery, such as the Three Elms public garden, located on Kuibysheva Street. It is familiar to local residents thanks to an interesting sculptural composition dedicated to the good soldier Schweik. This composition was created by Alexander and Nikolai Kuklev together with Christina Tsiber. This monument has become another element in a series of sculptures dedicated to literary and film heroes who have recently begun to decorate the streets of the city.
The historical roots of this monument go back to the 130th anniversary of the birth of Jaroslav Hasek, a Czech satirist, journalist and commissar of the Red Army. Having been captured by the Russian army in 1915, Hasek was transferred to the territory of what is now the Samara region. Subsequently, after peace between Germany and Russia, he became a member of the Communist Party and lived for some time in Samara, where he acted as a commissar of the Red Czechoslovak Corps, defending the city from the White Guards.
The sculptural composition depicts the main character of his famous novel, sitting on a barrel of gunpowder and smoking a pipe, and next to him is his bronze dog. Similar monuments to this character were also erected in other cities, such as St. Petersburg, Omsk and Moscow.
