Monument to the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles brothers Cyril and Methodius, the creators of the Old Slavonic alphabet. The authors of the sculptural composition are the sculptor Alexander Rozhnikov and the architect Mikhail Tikhomirov.
Molded bronze figures of saints are installed next to the Orthodox cross located behind them on a massive pedestal lined with granite. St. Cyril holds in his left hand a scroll with the Old Slavonic alphabet, St. Methodius - the Gospel. The total height of the monument together with the pedestal is 7.5 meters.
