Monument to Ilya Muromets.

Murom is a historic city in Vladimir Oblast which sprawls majestically along the left bank of Oka River, about 300 km east of Moscow. Its history goes back over almost 1100 years. It was a home town of the most celebrated East Slavic epic hero, Ilya Muromets, who is worshiped by the Russian Orthodoxy and who personifies the strong spirit of a Russian man.
