Karelian granite decorated Volgograd fountain "Children's dance"

In August of this year, after the grandiose work on the transformation of the Station Square in Volgograd, the grand opening of the updated fountain "Children's dance" took place. Special chic updated public space gives a 15-meter bowl, skillfully lined with natural Karelian granite.

About 80 tons of high-quality natural stone were delivered from Karelia to Volgograd for this project. Granite slabs were used in the creation of reinforced concrete construction of the fountain. To ensure durability and protection from moisture, the stone underwent special hydrophobic treatment.

Andrei Kovalchuk, People’s Artist of Russia and author of recreated sculptures, stressed that the use of such persistent materials as bronze and Karelian granite ensures that this unique creation will delight generations for centuries.

The fountain, which is the personification of the indomitable spirit of Stalingrad, became a reality thanks to the implementation of the youth initiative. The new, spacious square with recreation areas, modern lighting and flower beds has already become a favorite meeting place for both residents and guests of the hero city.

Residents and guests of Volgograd highly appreciated the improvement work done.
