The author of this, as well as all other Uzhgorod mini-sculptures is Mikhail Kolodko. It was installed almost 10 years ago on July 20, 2011. It was opened not as a tribute to friendship with the United States, but on the occasion of the so-called Uzhgorod regatta \u2013 a kind of competition of homemade watercraft on the river Uzh<\/a>. The reason for the creation of this cute sculpture was the angry appeal of the Ukrrechflot about the inadmissibility of navigation on rivers without their approval. Initiated its creation, the Department of tourism of uzhnu and Sacrficed.<\/p>\n\n

The official name of the sculpture is “Ungvar” lighthouse, and people just \nthey call it “Svobodka”. The statue is a mini-beacon: the torch has a built-in led. Therefore \nit serves as a kind of symbolic slightly sarcastic message from Ukrrechflot \ncommunities of the city.<\/p>\n\n

Since 2012, the tradition of creating this mini-sculpture has begun \nin different outfits depending on the holiday.<\/p>\n\n

Svobodka weighs almost 4 kg and is 30 cm high. So this mini-sculpture can be considered the world’s smallest lighthouse and the smallest in the world statue of liberty<\/a>. This small sculpture is placed on the railing of the pedestrian bridge on the side of the square Petefi <\/a>at the address: 1 Orthodox embankment (GPS: 48.621217, 22.297856).<\/p>\n
