/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A model of a Monument of Sorrow and Memory dedicated
to the 20th anniversary of the devastating Armenian earthquake was
designed by a well-known artist from Lipetsk, member of the Union of
Designers of Russia, Nikolay Rogatnev.
Yerkramas, the newspaper of Armenians of Russia, reports that the
model has a shape of a church gently acquiring silhouette of a funeral
candle based on rock crystal which reminds of the tragedy and resembles
the gravestone.
"I hope I managed to express my feelings by this peace of work. We
should not forget this horrific tragedy," Nikolay Rogatnev said.
Nikolay Rogatnev is the author of a number of monuments dedicated to
liquidators of the consequences of the Chernobyl calamity and soldiers
killed in local conflicts. He also designed a monument dedicated to
the unification of Russian Orthodox Church.
A monument to the Beatles exhibited in the Beatles Story Museum in
Liverpool in 2007 is one of the latest works of the artist.
The idea to design the Monument of Sorrow and Memory belongs to
another Lipetsk artist, member of the Union of Designers of Russia,
Valentin Bayukansky, who can be named the co-author by right.
This December Nikolay Rogatnev and Valentin Bayukansky are planning
to gift a small model of the monument to President Kocharian.
The 3-5 meter high monument will be evidently inaugurated next year
in one of the cities, which suffered from the earthquake. It will
be made of metal, since Nikolay Rogatnev is a metal painter and the
inventor of his own system of air-metal production.
To be implemented, the project needs sponsors, both Armenian and
Russian. The inauguration of the monument will once again prove the
friendship between the two nations.
