Everything is falling apart. Alas.

The Obelisk of the North was erected in honor of the unification of the northern regions into a single land. It was opened on November 7, 1930, in the center of a deer and a reindeer breeder, a hunter wearing a hat on the face.

I saw this obelisk several times after it was built, somewhere after 1 year from the date of construction and at the beginning of winter. After construction, he looked simply magnificent, did not even want to take his eyes off him. A year after the construction, it already cracked noticeably and already began to seem that he was over 3 years old, that is, I would already advise him to restore it, but my words mean little. And in the winter I come with my crew to shoot and, roughly speaking, I was in shock. The obelisk was just in terrible condition. In order to somehow hide all its defects, we re-shot everything several times and had to add blur to the frame, otherwise the picture would not be presentable and everyone who watched our report would have a bad impression. In general, I give a good mark and do not take into account the condition of the obelisk, but I really hope that it will be restored soon, so that it would be nice to look at it again

"Obelisk of the North", "Pomor with a deer", "Man with a deer" (other variants are possible) is one of the symbols of the city. Previously served as the Arkhangelsk emblem. On the monument are placed bas-reliefs, dedicated to the main types of economic activity of the region of those times (what is left of it?) And the five-year plan for four years (!) - a tetrahedral obelisk is put on a pentagon pedestal.
