Pushkin and Goncharova [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

[Subhash.Jaireth at GA.GOV.AU]

Friends,

Two questions:

On Starii Arbat in Moscow there is a sculptural ensemble Pushkin and Natalie. It was recently in the news concerning Pussy Riot's trial and sentencing.

1.      It seems there are other Pushkin and Goncharova statues in Russia. Just wondering if people know of the cultural-historical background of such wonderful creations. As we know the marriage wasn't a great success.
2.      The sculptural ensemble in Arbat in by Aleksander Burganov. I have tried to locate information (articles, books etc) about him and by him but haven't found anything. I'll be grateful if someone can locate some references for me.

Thanks and best wishes

Subhash
