Memorial History
The first memorial complex of the Borodino field was the burial of the fallen in the battle of 1812; In January-April 1813, all the corpses of the fallen were collected, burned and buried. Among the seven known burial sites, the most saturated is the Utitsky-Semenovsky quadrant. A few years later, in 1820, a second memorial appeared at the time of its creation: M. M. Tuchkova , the widow of A. A. Tuchkov , in the place of the alleged death of her husband, erected a church in the name of the Holy Image. In 1839, on the Raevsky battery, a monument was opened in memory of the defenders of the Fatherland, designed by Antonio Adamini. Next to him, the ashes of General P.I. Bagration, mortally wounded in the Battle of Borodino, were reburied. In 1932, the monument was demolished by the Bolsheviks, re-recreated in 1987. Also, in order to conduct maneuvers of the troops taking part in the Battle of Borodino, part of the fortifications was restored, and trenches were cleared. In the same year the Spaso-Borodinsky Monastery was consecrated . In the anniversary year of 1912, 32 new monuments appeared on the field, to the creation of which academicians A. Benois , N. Prokofiev , and sculptor M. Strakhovskaya were involved . The composition of the monuments, approved by the Jubilee Commission at the meeting on December 21, 1911, with few exceptions, has survived to the present day. It includes:
Etc. etc. etc.
I have nothing and am giving up before the clue.
Is the squiggly path like bit near the monument meant to resemble a face?
Is it an indigenous people monument somewhere near a cave in New England?
Do they have yellow crosswalks anywhere other than Switzerland?
