I love 
Thanks! And I want to start with the project "Mini-Sculptures: Small but Weighty Reasons to Visit Uzhhorod" #uzhhorodsculptures. This project aims to create mini-sculptures that are related to the history of the city in order to acquaint tourists and residents of Uzhgorod with interesting facts and famous people.

Laborets is considered the founder of the city of Uzhhorod and the fortress itself. It is believed that in the 9th century the castle of Laborets turned into a fortified early feudal town-settlement, which became the centre of the new Slavic principality. Conditionally, the year of the city's foundation is considered to be the 893rd.

John Lord did not visit Uzhhorod, but he was fitted with a sculpture. Why? An important role was played by Uzhhorod fans of Deep Purple, who, learning of John's death, wanted to honour his memory and even collected 16 kilograms of coins to create a sculpture from them.

In 1154, we received the first historically documented mention of the city of Uzhhorod. And all these thanks to this man.
@scrodinger/ua-en-mini-sculptures-small-but-weighty-reasons-to-visit-uzhhorod-6-ferenc-liszt
Ferenc Liszt often travelled in Europe, not bypassing Transcarpathia, where he repeatedly visited his friend Count Ploteni. By the way, the count was a prominent violinist of the 19th century and lived with his family in the village of Veliki Lazy, which is only 13 kilometres from Uzhgorod. Therefore, purely theoretically, we can guess that Liszt himself visited Uzhhorod because he was very close.

@scrodinger/mini-sculptures-small-but-weighty-reasons-to-visit-uzhhorod-9-andy-warhol-ua-en
Andy Warhol is a native of Transcarpathia and his real name is Andrew Warhola. Andy was born in Pittsburgh on August 6, 1928, to a family of first-generation immigrants who came from a Lemko village and moved to America in search of a better life. In general, his nickname appeared due to a typo in the printing house of one of the magazines, but Andy liked the new name so much that he decided to keep it for life.

It was established on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Ukraine's Independence. That is 2016. The author of the sculpture decided to depict our country in the form of a bar of chocolate, which exactly repeats the state borders. And, of course, this has its own symbolism.
@scrodinger/mini-sculptures-small-but-weighty-reasons-to-visit-uzhhorod-11-svobodka-ua-en
The most famous sculpture, which is practically a business card of the city, is located in the heart of the city and can always be seen on social networks not only by locals but also tourists. Meet Ungvar, or as the locals called it, Svobodka. And which is our little version of the famous Statue of Liberty from the United States.

In fact, the installation of the monument was timed to celebrate the Days of French Culture in Ukraine. It was on this occasion that the sculptor Mykhailo Kolodko decided to install a copy of the tower in his hometown. The height of the mini-sculpture is only 16 centimetres, and it weighs one kilogram. And this makes it the smallest copy of the Eiffel Tower in the world.

The sculpture of the Rubik's cube was installed in Uzhgorod on December 22, 2014, in honour of the 40th anniversary of the invention of the puzzle. It took about one kilogram of material to make the bronze version of the sculptor, and the size corresponds to the original cube.
Little Nicholas was built in honour of the annual parade of St. Nicholas, which has been held for about 30 years.
And from this post, you will learn about the most romantic mini sculpture of the city of Uzhhorod and the history of famous historical figures during whose reign Uzhhorod Castle was in its heyday. This married couple is a symbol of fidelity and a symbol of endurance, and there are still legends about their love.

And in this post I will tell you about the mini sculpture of the last Transcarpathian Robin Hood, about which hundreds of myths and legends were composed, as well as whose exploits are still debated by historians, believing that it is a collective image of all those who fought injustice.

Chontwari is a genius Hungarian self-taught artist who was the same age as Van Gogh and far ahead of his time. It's quite simple, Chontwari can rightly be considered a Hungarian artist of Ukrainian-Slovak origin. Besides, he lived in our city for a long time. In his memoirs, he mentioned the city of Uzhhorod in one line: "I did not study much, but in Uzhhorod, I was the best among skaters".

The sculpture was installed on July 10, 2012, in honour of the anniversary of the Ukrainian-Czech friendship. Also, it is a kind of monument to the postwar city, because it is no coincidence that the sculpture was mounted on historical pieces of railings, which even left traces of bullets from the Second World War.

I think everything is clear and without explanation. In the regional centre of Transcarpathia, the memory of the legendary compatriot was honoured, who conquered the whole world with his strength, but in spite of everything did not emigrate, but returned to his native village, where he lived with his family until his death.

The city of Uzhhorod has a fairly long list of sister cities, including the city of Jihlava, which is located in the Czech Republic. It is located in the southeast of the country on the river of the same name Jihlava. It was first mentioned in chronicles in 1233. In 2010 it became a sister city of Uzhhorod. And the coat of arms of this city depicts hedgehogs.

@scrodinger/mini-sculptures-small-but-weighty-reasons-to-visit-uzhhorod-23-uncle-kolya-lantern-uaen
Uncle Kolya is a real figure from the second half of the twentieth century, which many Uzhgorod residents still remember. He is a simple man who has done his job flawlessly for decades. By his profession, he was a lantern maker, who for more than 40 years lit Uzhhorod lanterns.
On September 26, 2015, this mini-sculpture appeared in Uzhhorod: a bronze ruler holding a bunch of grapes sitting on a barrel. At the opening, wine was poured from this small barrel, so anyone could taste it. Oh yes, a sculpture with a little secret, from the barrel periodically pours local wine. But be prepared that you will have to look for the figurine because it is difficult to notice it from the street.
