= A Little Blonde on A Duck =
The picture of a small pretty girl with curious glance sitting on a bronze duck was taken in a very nice park at ponds of famous Novodevichy convent. This bronze mother duck and her eight ducklings behind is a copy of the original sculpture located in Boston Public Garden and based on a story by Nancy Schön "Make way for Ducklings". In 1991, from behalf of American children, Barbara Bush granted it for children of Soviet Union and gave it to Raisa Gorbacheva as part of the START Treaty. The work was put on display in Moscow's Novodevichy Park then.
