A monument to the poet and actor Vladimir Vysotsky - a long-standing dream of Igor Pushkarev. Almost two years head of Vladivostok carefully chosen among the many designs offered by sculptors, "his" Vysotsky. The best option in his view offered 28-year-old sculptor Peter Chegodaev.

We fix this situation, already taken to the balance of the city and took the responsibility of about 50 monuments, restored and renovated four dozen obektovkulturnogo heritage. " Thanks to the active position of the mayor, many of the objects of cultural heritage in Vladivostok were restored for the first time since the foundation, even though by law they had to straighten out every 5 years. In addition, the head of the city set out to not only maintain but also to fill up the cultural heritage of Vladivostok. So in 2012 in the seaside capital were installed three new monuments: Ilya Muromets, Nicholas Muravevu-Amur and Yulu Brynner. In January 2013 in the heart of the city installed a new sculpture - a sailor in flared jeans. Next in line memorial Katyusha, and in the near future and one of the greatest poets and artists - Vladimir Vysotsky. "I like his poems and songs, like millions of other people. Creativity Vysotsky - our common heritage, so sure of his sculpture in Vladivostok will appeal to all people, "- said Igor Pushkarev.
