Focus on Statue of Metallurgist Anosov, Zlatoust and analyze the Description.
The bronze statue is mounted on a massive pedestal of red Ukrainian granite, and is 9.5 m (31 ft) high, the statue itself being 4.6 m (15 ft).Anosov Pavel Petrovich is depicted standing in the uniform of a general-major of the Mining Corps, with a curved strip of Damascus steel held between his hands. A microscope is placed on the post on the left of the statue, on the same tall pedestal. The pedestal is a cylindrical shape, which rests on a square plinth. The inscription on the pedestal reads: "Great Russian metallurgist Pavel Petrovich Anosov 1797-1855"; his correct year of birth, 1799, was later installed on the pedestal in 1999.His date of birth was long a subject of controversy among researchers. Only two centuries later was the exact date established according to documentary evidence - 29 June 1796, leading to the involuntary error on the inscription.The Statue of the Metallurgist is a "twin" to the Statue of Yuriy Dolgorukiy in Moscow which was erected in 1954.
