Monument to Vysotsky in different countries

The work of Vladimir Vysotsky has grown not onegeneration. His lyrics take for the soul, and the music perfectly conveys any mood from sorrow to joy. It is not surprising that after the death of a great man the monument to Vysotsky was erected at the Vagankovskoye cemetery in Moscow, but this is by no means the only sculpture dedicated to a poet, bard and actor. More than 20 sculptures and commemorative plaques were installed in the countries of the former Soviet Union, as well as Montenegro, Poland, Bulgaria and the United States.

In the inner courtyard of the Taganka Theater in 1988the monument to Vysotsky (the work of the sculptor Gennady Raspopov) was opened. Vladimir Vysotsky stands, bracing himself for one hand, near the sword, which is just above his height. Some call the sculptural composition a monument to Hamlet Taganka, remembering the role played by the artist.

Also in Moscow on the fifteenth anniversary of deathVladimir Semenovich (1995) a monument to Vysotsky was opened. The sculptor portrayed him with his face turned to the sky and his hands, divorced in different directions. Behind him is an acoustic guitar, but there is no belt on which it is held.
