Monument Gotsmanov, Odessa

Monument Gotsmanov, Odessa

Gotsmanov Monument in Odessa installed near the building of the main police department outside Jewish. Sculpture Gotsmana represented in human growth, where the hero is on the move down from the grand staircase of management, feeding the pigeons - the symbolic bird of peace, happiness and prosperity. The prototype of David Markovich Gotsmana popular movie series of "liquidation" was the best collective way, describing the nature and strength of the Odessa police officer era of the postwar years. Author sculpture architect Tokarev at the opening of the monument in December 2008, argued that trying to avoid physical resemblance to the actors who played Gotsmana. We know that the real hero was a prototype David Kurland, who worked at the Odessa Police in the 40s.

An interesting fact that could only happen in a colorful Odessa, is the fact that the theft by vandals costly episodes of the monument took place even under the walls of the main police department. Pigeons were stolen, cast in bronze, and the main part of the sculpture. Nearby there is a monument to General Radetzky , established on the site of the family tomb of his family in 1891.
