Monument to Vladimir Vysotsky

The monument to the poet, composer, singer and actor Vladimir Vysotsky is a gift to residents for the anniversary of the city from the president of the LUKOIL oil company Vagit Alekperov. The image of Vladimir Vysotsky in bronze was recreated by the famous Russian artist and sculptor Zurab Tseretelli. The weight of the composition is about four tons. The monument was opened in 2012 as part of the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the city of Pokachi. The monument was opened by the governor of Ugra Komarova Natalia Vladimirovna, the president of the LUKOIL company Alekperov Vagit Yusufovich and the head of the city of Pokachi Khaliullin Rayan Zalilovich. The president of the oil company during the opening ceremony of the monument noted that the choice of the hero for the sculptural composition was not accidental. It is in the songs of Vladimir Vysotsky that the lines about the development of the West Siberian oil and gas province and the romance of the pioneer era sound. "We always remember that people live here who have allowed the company to develop and create its power. This sculpture is associated with his youth and love for Western Siberia. He has a lot of poems dedicated to oil.
