Malyshev Street, Ekaterinburg, Russia. winter 2004. Russians have had a long history and interest in monuments, which more often than not are erected with pomp and circumstance and later removed with disgust and contempt as one regime replaces another. However, good old General Malyshev has stood the passage of time and remains somewhat studious and sedate in his own street.
