celebrating books and characters [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

[Nina Murray]

Apologies if someone has already mentioned these:

Kharkiv has a monument to Ostap Bender (I'm hyperlinking to the picture) modeled 
on the actor Sergey Yurski who played Bender in one of the film adaptations. 
Curiously, Kharkiv also has a monument to Ellochka Liudoyedochka, Kisa, and 
Father Fedor, all Ilf and Petrov characters. 


See also this very helpful list: http://top10best.ucoz.ru/news/2009-04-11-15 -- 
it includes monuments to Rzhevsky, Moo-Moo, and White Bim with a Black Ear. 


And I must mention the Brave Soldier Shveik immortalized in Lviv.
