Monuments are different, and often it depends on the imagination of the architect, as well as the available materials. Sometimes they are placed in honor of famous people, a reminder of important dates, rarely depict monuments of literary heroes, and very rarely have a hero come the things that surround us.

One of these monuments in Yekaterinburg. On the second tier of Iset river embankment, on the part of Gogol street, stands a monument depicting a computer keyboard. It is made of concrete in scale 1:30. This is the world's largest keyboard. Each key weighs about hundredweight, and the space bar pulls on a half-ton. The size of the "keyboard" is impressive - a huge increase from the button grass, enticing kids to jump on them. One bad - in spite of such enormous size, this monument is quite low, and in winter, snow, and you will not see it. So this is one of the greatest monuments, which in winter is completely hidden under the snowdrifts.

The author of this monument - Anatoly Vyatkin, Ekaterinburg sculptor.
