Sculpture "Pioneer Trumpeter"
🥁The "Pioneer Trumpeter" Sculpture — a recognizable symbol of the Soviet era, installed in the park zone of Sochi's Central District along a pedestrian alley, is considered one of the modern art installations. This bronze composition depicts a boy in a pioneer neckerchief energetically playing a bugle, serving as a vivid accent in the urban landscape. The sculpture appeared in early March 2024.

An ideal spot for history enthusiasts, lovers of retro aesthetics, and those seeking quiet relaxation in the shade of trees.
