 ALLEGORICAL STATUL, MAN CONOULRING THL BRUTL : FONTANKA BRIDGL, 



PLTROGRAD, RUSSIA 



The visitor to Russia admires the virile statues and monuments in Petrograd and 

 Moscow. Usually these are the work of Russian artists, who are very successful in express- 

 ing action and power (see also page 424). For achievements in music, literature, sculpture, 

 and painting during the past century few people excel the Russians. The fame of Tolstoi, 

 Turgeniev, Vereshchagin, and many others is world-wide.
