Sculptures of Russian fairy tales characters on Red Square This large sculpture composition with Russian fairy tales characters is installed on the bank of the Neglinka River not far from Manezhnaya Square. Here you will find a firebird and a mermaid, an old man with a goldfish, a vixen and a crane from the fable, a frog-princess and many other characters.
