October 29, 1978 on the shore of the wonderful lake Imandra at the end of the avenue Zhdanov was opened a monument in honor of Monchegorsk, who died during the Great Patriotic War. The authors are the Moscow sculptor Korolev Victor Efremovich, a member of the Union of Artists of the USSR, a participant in the Great Patriotic War, the architect - Gorelik Mark Tevelievich, the head of the architectural group of the Monchegorsk branch of the Gipronickel Institute. The monument is a 13-meter-high stele, at the foot of which there are two figures - a sailor and a soldier.

Sculptures were cast from bronze at the Mytishchi plant of art casting. The city's Komsomol organization acted as the initiator of the creation of such a monument. Komsomol members earned money to build a monument on subbotniks, listing part of their salary, handing scrap metal, waste paper and even mushrooms and berries! Many Monchegorskites followed the patriotic example of youth. The workers of the Kolstroy Trust took part in the construction of the monument, the industrial complex manufactured blocks, the Severonickel Combine - stone tiles for facing.the whole city participated in the implementation of a noble idea - to perpetuate the memory of the defenders of the Arctic. Perhaps the most magnificent monument built on the territory of Monchegorsk is dedicated to the defenders of the Arctic. It is a 13-meter stele with two figures, located at its foot - a sailor and a soldier. The monument appeared here in 1978 on the initiative of the Komsomol organization, which raised funds for its construction. The stela was created by the Moscow sculptor V. Korolev and local architect M. Gorelik.

My weekends are very busy days. On Saturday I usually get up early and do my chores. Then I go for a walk. I usually do my homework in the evening. I like to sleep longer on Sunday. I play computer games in the morning. In the evening I usually go shopping with my parents. Sometimes we go to the country. Weekends for me are just a change of activity. It's not rest.

Мои выходные - очень напряжённые дни. В субботу я обычно встаю рано и делаю свою работу по дому. Потом я иду гулять. Я обычно делаю домашнее задание вечером. В воскресенье я люблю поспать подольше. Утром я играю в компьютерные игры. Вечером я обычно хожу по магазинам с родителями. Иногда мы едем на дачу. Выходные для меня-это просто смена деятельности. Это не отдых.
