Monument to the silent film comedian
In addition to architectural monuments, any tourist will definitely come across interesting monuments in Barnaul, a kind of tribute to the memory of various people or events. These include the only monument in all of Siberia to the wordless actor of black-and-white cinema, Charlie Chaplin. Not even quite a monument, but a sculptural composition - a still frame from the film “Circus”, which is symbolically located on the lawn near the city cinema. The plot centers on a silent chase: a little tramp in a ridiculous Charlie Chaplin hat, pursued by a policeman brandishing a baton, and a lady standing at a distance filming the action. The well-coordinated ensemble involuntarily evokes a smile, and often remains in the photographs of numerous passers-by posing against its background.
