History
In 1968, at the All-Union Art Exhibition “50th Anniversary of the Komsomol” in the Central Exhibition Hall, graduate of School No. 110 D. U. Mitlyansky presented his sculpture “ Requiem of the 41st Year ”, which he dedicated to the memory of his comrades who died at the front. Pupils of the school proposed to install this monument in the schoolyard [3] .
The grand opening of the monument took place on June 22, 1971 . It was made according to the project of the graduates of this school - sculptor D. Yu. Mitlyansky, architects E. A. Rozenblyum and P. I. Skokan . The monument consisted of 5 bronze figures of dead tenth-graders volunteers standing on a pedestal in full growth (Yury Divilkovsky, Igor Kuptsov, Igor Bogushevsky, Grigory Rodin and Gabor Raab). Schoolchildren are dressed in overcoats, with rifles on their shoulders. On the pedestal was the inscription “ Be worthy of the memory of the fallen. 1941-1945 . At the foot of the pedestal was a marble plaque with the names of 100 students and teachers of the school who died in the war [1] .
In 1993, the monument was subjected to vandalism, after which the figures had to be transferred to the school museum. To protect the monument from further acts of vandalism, sculptor D. Yu. Mitlyansky and architect B. S. Markus developed a project for its reconstruction. An updated monument was erected on the wall of the school from the side of the Knight Alley [4] . The new monument is a smaller copy of the old, on its pedestal is applied a more accurate quote from Robert's Christmas Requiem: " In memory of the fallen, be worthy ."
