I'd also like to add: In 1957, the writer K.G. Paustovsky wrote a wonderful story, "The Asleep Boy": "...we remembered the magnificent artist Borisov-Musatov, who lived and died in our town and is buried on a hillside above the Oka River.
Borisov-Musatov loved this hillside. He painted one of his best landscapes from it – so subtle and pensive that it might have seemed like a dream, if not for the feeling that every yellow birch leaf was warmed by the last rays of the sun. On autumn days like these, like in this painting... At Borisov-Musatov's grave, there is a tombstone by the sculptor Matveyev – a sleeping boy lies on a slab of coarse-grained red sandstone... The sculpture is crafted with extraordinary power and skill."
You asked us to keep quiet, but alas, we... And I'm among them—what you filmed is simple, but TOUCHING.
Evgsaln, Thank you, I wanted to show this monument to anyone interested. This place is not easy to find; you need to know about it, and only locals can show you the way. I learned about it a long time ago from a documentary in which Boris Messerer and Bella Akhmadulina and their friends visited it.
