Lenin Square: from the Leader to the General
Lenin Square is the largest in Pyatigorsk. The area is sloping because of the proximity to Mashuk Mountain. Going here for a walk one needs to be ready for climbing the stairs with many steps. A musical fountain is beating in the lower part of the square in front of the city administration. The alley of honorable citizens of Pyatigorsk is behind it.
A monument to the leader of the world proletariat stands on Lenin Square. The military memorial begins behind his classic figure in a waving coat. The so-called «Bowl of Tears» in the form of a rectangular basin is in the center of the memorial. In 1972 the Eternal Flame was lit in front of the cup. In 2008 to the left of the Eternal Flame plates were installed with the names of Heroes of the Great Patriotic War — the natives of Pyatigorsk. Higher is the monument to the hero of the war of 1812 General Yermolov on horseback. The small cascade fountain completes the composition of the square.
