@nycxbeyond: Fountain of the Friendship of the Nations, symbol of the union of the USSR republics was built in 1954. There are 16 gilded statues of the women symbolising the Soviet republics: their number sixteen corresponds to the number of the administrative units that the USSR consisted of at the time the heritage site was created. The girls each hold in their hands the agricultural plant that was most often grown in their corresponding republics. #vdnkh #moscow #вднх #фонтаны #паркимосквы #москва #фонтандружбынародов #visitmoscow #russia #besttraveldestinations #достопримечательности #кудасходитьвмоскве #летовмоскве #паркимосквы
