Sphinxes Shemyakin. Monument to victims of political repression. St. Petersburg.

Monument to victims of political repression in St. Petersburg. The place of its location was chosen by chance - the Neva Embankment opposite the Ã¢â¬ÅCrossesÃ¢â¬Â, because this prison was a sign of that terrible time. At the base of the memorial is one of the symbols of St. Petersburg - the sculptures of sphinxes, located opposite each other at a distance of several meters. One side of the face of sphinxes is ordinary, female, and it faces residential buildings, and the other side, facing the Neva and the Crosses, is eaten to the skull.
