On July 27, a group of students from Malaysia, Thailand and Uzbekistan got acquainted with Kursk.
Earlier, they had already visited the central street, the art gallery, and the Boeva Dacha Park. This time, the students, together with their teachers, visited the Children’s Park on Perekalskoho Street. The purpose of such walks is to study Kursk, get acquainted with its history, traditions and culture.
The Children’s Park is one of the oldest in the city. It was created in 1938 and since then has been one of the popular recreation spots for the townspeople. At the entrance to the park, next to the building of the regional philharmonic, a monument to the outstanding Kursk writer Konstantin Vorobyov, one of the brightest representatives of the military prose of the 20th century, is installed.
Various statues have been preserved in the park since the Soviet era, including a figure of a bear – the symbol of Russia. The foreign students were happy to take photos against its background, as well as next to the wooden statue of Baba Yaga – a folk hero of Russian culture.
