Welcome to Sholokhov Country!

01.06.2017

The Museum-Reserve of M.A.Sholokhov keeps on showing you the sights of the Sholokhov country.

Each Internet user can take part in the project “Welcome to Sholokhov Country!” downloading for free the desktop pictures in your computer. You can select a proper size picture to your choice – with a current month calendar or without it.

Each month a new picture is added. Now you see a sculptural group “Grigory and Aksinya” based on the works by M.A.Sholokhov. Initially the sculptural group was put up in 1983, in Rostov-on-Don, where it remained for 12 years, then in April of 1995, it was moved to Vyoshenskaya. It was made by sculptor Nikolay Mozhayev, Honoured Artist of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, the Sholokhov Prize winner. The co-authors are E.M.Mozhayeva, architects V.Desyatnichuk, V.I.Voloshin, and G.Kholodny.

The sculpture is 6.5 m tall, the weight is 12 tons.

We hope following a virtual tour you will like to come to the homeland of the great writer and visit the Museum-Reserve.
