God willing and anyone who goes to the sea for a long time,.
Fishing boats and ships -.
Let them go to their home port, bring them home.
This waiting is like the image of the whole earth.
V. Timofeev.
14 years ago, the monument to the "Waiting Woman" was solemnly opened in Murmansk. The idea of creating the monument belongs to the poet, writer, honorary citizen of Murmansk V. L. Timofeev. They first started talking about it in 1984. But due to the difficult economic situation in the country, the project was frozen.
And in the summer of 2011, a number of public figures in Murmansk again raised the issue of installing the monument. The whole world collected money for it.
In just one year, we managed to collect the required amount and hold a work competition. The project of Smolensk sculptors I. Chumkov and Y. Anushko got most of the votes.
On November 10, 2012, the solemn memorial was erected on Chombrova-Luchinsky Street.
