celebrating books and characters [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

[Anne Fisher]

Hello Subhash,

there are many statues of various characters from Ilf and Petrov's Bender
novels.

Those are just the ones in Kharkov.

There is also an Ostap Bender museum in SPB - at least, there was. I'm not
sure it's still up and running.

Sounds like an interesting project. Have fun with it!
