Alleya Pisateley

In October 1994, at the opening of the Murman Literary Museum, Vitaly Semenovich Maslov, secretary of the Murmansk Organization of the Writers' Union of Russia, first voiced the desire to create an Alley of writers associated with his work with the Murmansk region. On February 16, 2006, the opening ceremony of the bust of the poet Nikolai Mikhailovich Rubtsov (1936–1971) took place. He was the beginning of the Literary Alley. On May 23, 2008, on the eve of the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture, a bust was opened to the Murmansk poet, ethnographer and journalist Vladimir Alexandrovich Smirnov (1937-1995). On July 20, 2008, the bust of the historian and writer Valentin Savvich Pikul (1928–1960) was opened at the Writers Alley. A few days before the opening of the bust, when laying the foundation, three capsules were laid in the foundation of the monument: with the ground of the Solovetsky Islands, where the school of the young man was located, graduated from V. Pikul, from the ridge Musta-Tunturi and the capsule with Barents Sea water. In September 2011, the Alley of Writers was replenished with one more bust - Murmansk prose writer Vitaly Semenovich Maslov (1935–2001). Unlike the three previous busts, the bust of V. Maslov is made of marble. On October 7, 2014, another name appeared on the Writers Alley and the fifth bust was opened - Alexander Podstanitsky. The young Murmansk poet, journalist and shooter Podstanitsky died in 1942 during a combat departure. He was only 21 years old, but during his short life Alexander managed to leave a mark in the history of literature of the Polar region. It is to him that the lines “Murmansk, my wide-shouldered city, lay down on the gulf with my breast dams” belong to all Murmansk citizens.

Dirty of course ...
