This monument   is a very important symbol of the philosophy of our times. In August 2009, the world celebrated the 20th  anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The fall of this wall from the Cold War, symbolized the end of the Iron Curtain. In this composition, a young girl steps into an infinite " Moebius strip”. This represents the end of ideologies such as Fascism and Communism, during which many endured to survive helplessly.  Many believe that the end of the cold war is the victory of occidental ideals; but this vision is wrong. There can be no victory over the millions of people who gave their lives for such ideals.
Societies make many mistakes, but from them often sprout life, kindness and peace. Evil soon dies. This monument is a search for common sense, an image to victorious peace, to greatness in tolerance and understanding our past.
The monument was presented to the people of the city of Peshelan (Arzamas district, Nizhny Novgorod region)  on August 28th, 2009.

The following of these principles always leads to the victory of piece. That is why America is victory of piece.

Andrey Saharov was the genius nuclear physician who created the first hydrogen atomic bomb.
His work was originally dedicated to military science and technical progress. Later understanding his work was turned against humanity, much against his own will, he became a human rights defender in his own land and was much in demand around the world, even as he fought against Gorbatchev, to organise the nuclear disarmament treaties with USA (then with president R.Reagan).In the monument, his unnatural sitting position, somewhat like a tortured person, represents his fight with the communist regime that would lead to his degrading quality of life and premature death. Millions of Russians remember him as the weak man the power in place could not defeat.

How to express memory to our soldiers who never returned from war?
The eternal flame symbolises this memory. The sculptor tried to cast the flame in bronze and souls of the soldiers a shown as herons flying. As they fly for eternity and the unknown, they remain always in our memories. The inauguration of the monument took place on September 8 2007 in Moscow region, Ivanteevka city

This monument symbolises the fragility of friendship love and kindness. Each branch represents a hand saying « hello » and in the middle of each I placed an eye that one could see as an open and kind hart.

The base is shape as leaves looking like open lips for the kisses from which love begins. All these symbols are grouped to show us that together they make us understand that love and kindness is our greatest cement for relations to each other as it should also be between countries.

The firts monument of the series, sponsered by the International Academy of Kindness, was erected on the 20th of October in Tallinn, Estonia.

22nd of May is Saint-Nicholas anniversary. On this day of 2007 was inaugurated a monument nearby the church of Smolensk God Mother in the city of Ivanteyevka, near Moscow. It was placed in a rotunda designed by the city architect Vladimir Gubsky. During these modern times it is most important to remember spiritual sources; the city mayor Elena Suhanova gave excellent collaboration and understanding to social and spiritual life of her constituents.

The monument source is an icon of the saint dating back to the 13th century that was donated to the city by the Gregory Pototsky. It should be noted that the sculptor was the first in Russia to create monuments in bronze to Saint-Nicholas; in fact in is not usual in Russia to erect monuments to saints when icons are usually the norm.

Every new monument to A. Pushkin is different from the preceding one. Despite of this it is always a Pushkin!

Although this monument is 2 meters, Pushkin appears smaller, as he really was in his life. The monument proportions shows us a true similitude of his person as he holds on to his cane which in those times was an object of fashion; few artists if any ever showed him with it. But as an art element included by Pototsky, it gives us a better understanding of the poet.

The original cane’s weight was 16 kg, and Pushkin used it every day to exercise and keep strong arm muscles as he was a famous duellist. The head on the monument seams slightly larger than it should be, and this precise feature confirms us that A. Pushkin is really present in front of our eyes.

For a long time I searched for a symbol that could represent tolerance across all religious faiths. In the Arabic language the words “Islam” and “Peace” have the same roots. Finally, I found one such symbol or rather combination of symbols; it is simple for everyone to understand, and it incorporates the Islamic croissant and the Peace branch of the olive tree.

Their peaceful spatial arrangement combined in one monument, called "Islam is Peace", reminds all of us that the word Islam is in reality the word Peace.

The monument to the great Arab writer from Egypt, Naghib Mahfouz, was inaugurated in the Moscow Diplomatic University Library (MGIMO) on December 11th, 2007. The author was the first Arab person to receive the 1988 Nobel prize in literature and his works were mainly novels, plays and scripts for the Arabic cinema. He was very progressive and open minded that his life was threatened several times.

This year (2006) the world will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of the great photographer, P.Halsman. This citizen of Latvia gave us unprecedented pictures of people that made history, such as Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Salvatore Dali and Winston Churchill. The Second World War forced him to immigrate to USA where he worked and polished his photographic art.

The monument shows parts of an image just as in darkroom practices now forgotten, where images dipped in chemicals would appear gradually; here the head, a camera, wings and finally the whole frame around the image. This is the abstract process the artist transferred here to bronze.

On November 5th, 2006, the world famous adventurer Feodor Konuhov inaugurated in his chapel honouring navigators, mountain climbers, and other adventurers, a bronze "bas relief" of Saint-Nicholas.

The chapel to Saint Nicholas was erected in 2004 with Kohunov's own money , and Kohinov adds that his promise to built the chapel came about as he was passing the Cape Horn on his sail boat. The bronze art work was created by the world renown Russian artist Gregory Pototsky.

The monument to "LOVE" was inaugurated in 2004 in Moscow's Trubetskoy park. One man and one woman stand back to back in one person and their outstretched arms form branches, such as the tree of life. One may also see a leaf with nerves mixing as the life of each one tied together forms one destiny.

Piercings in the bronze give lightness and a sense of soaring. It is already a good tradition for newlyweds in Moscow to visit the park and kiss through on hole of the sculpture for a prosperous and loving life.

The monument was be inaugurated in October 2004 in the
Moscow Institute for International Relations « MGIMO » .

This piece, very modern in it's composition, tells the deep and passionate love that tied the great author Turgenev to the French opera singer Viardo, for more than 40 years. This monument is dedicated to a French woman, Muse and good angel for Turgenev; France was very proud of her.

The composition is romantic and dynamic; the sculpture revolves with the mere touch of the hand. It's shape is that of a tree leave, the favourite one of the author. On one side we see Turgenev surrounded by his pens, on the other we see Viardo with roses playing the lyra. The leave is pierced at the top in the author's hart, and on the reverse side on the lyra.

Dali, who can translate him in sculpture?

To imitate his style is plagiat, to make a classical monument of his person will not do him justice. Thus only remains this question; who was Dali? Gregory Pototsky put his thoughts to elude this question. The monument shown here, dedicated to the great 20th century painter Salvador Dali is his answer; Dali is our very own Don Quixote.

One should easily see in his wife and muse Gala, the Dulcinea of Cervantes who was also Spanish like the famous painter. Dali’s work opposes « farce » and « horror » to provoque his contemporaries : through his eyes, post romantic man views his own spiritual emptiness. Difficult to admit but nonetheless truthful image of Dali.

Chekhov’s monument is created in conceptual style and reflects the whole depth of writer’s psychology and dramatic effect. Chekhov’s figure is similar with Don Kikhot’s one. In his creation the sculptor wanted to show that the Russian literature is full of heroism. And the mourning of the little man is not withstanding how the noble motives turned out to be useless.

This Russian heroism took away millions of human lives. The dog Kashtanka, being depicted in a flight is the mode of Russian people who had wallowed and spitted the idea of communism with their intestines.

Chekhov was an outstanding writer, but remained a “little man”

On his first visit to Japan, Gregory Pototsky was quite surprises to hear about a Russian priest who came in the 19th to convert the Japanese to the Orthodox church; more than 30,000 followed his teachings. He was able there to achieve the construction of one of the most beautiful Orthodox church.

The artist had the feeling that the eyes of the saint looked at him with love and understanding; that Saint-Nicholas will come and bless him.

Lafkadio Hern, left his homeland of England to live in Japan; there he married a local woman and stayed there all his life. As he learned the art of meditation on mount Fujiyama, he studied Japanese and finally wrote 25 books in that language. Portrait shows to side of his personality, first as a London "dandy" of the time and second, from profile, as a Japanese medium.

The bust was set on a granite base alongside another of a great Russian artist A. Chekov; the works were commissioned by one of the school professors who translated to Japanese the complete works of the Russian writer.

The monument was inaugurated in Strumitsa, Macedonia, in memory of the late president Boris Traikovsky who was assassinated.....Since the great Alexander, Macedonians consider themselves as victors; the base of the sculpture which is in the form of a V, represents VICTORY.

One part, is a pedestal to the bust of the president, the other is Mother of Macedonia holding a cross inserted in a crown of laurels to bless both country and president.

Anger destroys blindly...and the victims of a genocide have no power to stop the pain of their slayers. The monument has the same senseless feeling of incomprehension than that of the deaths of the victims.

This may be the clue as to how precious and unique each life should be, even in a world without art nor beauty; the lyre without strings, pierced by a javelin symbolises this emptiness.

Conception of the monument is simple and precise. It is true to members from this university, that died in front of the German invaders during the Second World War.

The monolith, containing the names of the dead soldiers, with the half star, forms a transparent silhouette of a ”cross” symbol of their destiny; they died defending their native land wearing caps bearing the red star. This was the heroic deed of their life.

In august 19th., 2004, the monuments to A. Pushkin and E. Nelligan were inaugurated in Quebec City (Canada). These monuments are a gift from the city of Saint-Petersburg to it’s Canadian sister city. At this ceremony were present, the mayor of Quebec City, the Honourable J.P. Lallier and the Vice Governor of Saint-Petersburg, the Honourable M.E. Oseyevsky.

This project was more than four years in the making. These busts actually inspired Quebec City council to create a special street, called « Alley of the poets », dedicated to great poets from friendly cities around the world. These poets represent two cities tied by many similarities, such as flourishing culture, Nordic climate and iced closed sea ports; it is also a fact that both cities were once capitals of their country.

Art and poetry from the Romanian culture personage of Luchaferul, is solidified and fixed in time in this bronze monument. The monument soars form it's base to show us the way to freedom from stereotypes and prejudices. The monument departs from old classical teachings and opens the way to a new sense of the romantics

This plaque was placed on the house (number 9, Tverskaya street, Moscow) where the nuclear academician Y. Hariton lived from 1950 to 1984.

One inspiring fact is that there is only on photograph of the poet. The French Canadian people recognise the extraordinary work by the sculptor who captured the true face of the poet who symbolises deep rooted french culture.

In Turkey, was inaugurated the “Monument to Peace” , as a prediction monument. The composition of the monument precisely reflects the twin-towers in New York. This monument became the main object for the film, which was made in the same year.

This monument was certainly received rather timidly at first by the people of Turkey, but soon came to understand it's simple sculptural meditation on eternity. This piece was one of the few orders received by the painter/sculptor with absolutely no preconception or suggestive guidance; he thus had total freedom to create, uncensored, an genius masterpiece in simplicity, courage and absolute art mastery.

The symbol behind this piece is quite obviously the letter "A".
The sculptor wanted to mark here a beginning in the same manner this letter represents the start of the alphabet and the beginning of all words. The one piece marble stone trusts skyward to suggest the origin of all things to earth. It's double side texture; smooth on one and rough on the other suggest that the nature of man is often constructed of opposing ideas.

Many will see in the piece the teachings of Saint-Nicholas or those of Saint-Andre as both saints established the basic thinking for a new faith and a new life.

On behalf of the government of Slovenia, as a gift to Moscow, he inaugurated the bust to “Sigismund Herbershtein”. It is the first and unique monument to this great European; a diplomat, statesman and writer, who opened Russia to Europe in the 16th. century. (see author notes about Moskovia)

This composition is MUSE bearing two wings; one represents kindness the other anger. Luck represented by a horseshow binds the wings of the Russian poet. This assembly of wings and horseshow represent the broken ring of Russian life.

The poet can only reach glory and freedom through this ring and his death. The muse Natalya (his wife) holds Pushkin’s head in its hand as Salome did with the head of Jean the Baptist. Pushkin was the prophet of Russian literature.
