A sculpted marble hand on the monument to Gleb Alexandrovich Iwaszencow (Gleb Ivashentsov, 1883-1933) on the Communist Section of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra. Ivashentsov was a prominent physician, infectious disease specialist, and the chief doctor of Leningrad s Botkin Hospital, who died of typhus contracted while treating patients during an epidemic. Created in 1934 by celebrated sculptor Leonid Sherwood (:041b:0435:043e:043d:0438:0434 :0412:043b:0430:0434:0438:043c:0438:0440:043e:0432:0438:0447 :0428:0435:0440:0432:0443:0434), the monument features a white marble half-figure with bronze and carved stone accents, known for combining contrasting textures and materials. The photograph captures the physician s hand resting downward against the folds of a coat or shroud, showing naturalistic anatomy in the knuckles and fingernails. Decades of Saint Petersburg dampness and soot have weathered the white marble surface with granular pitting, dark staining, and chipping along the thumb. Saint Petersburg, Russia, May 29, 2014

This sculptural niche on the Communist Section of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra shelters the memorial urn of Professor Ivan Ivanovich Grekov (1867-1934), one of Russia s foremost clinical surgeons and chief physician of Leningrad s historic Obukhov Hospital. Renowned for pioneering complex abdominal and cardiovascular procedures--including an early successful direct suture of a penetrating cardiac wound--Grekov was named an Honored Scientist of the RSFSR in 1932. His sudden death in 1934 prompted the municipal authorities to grant him a resting place in the monastery courtyard, which served as an elite civic pantheon for pre-revolutionary academic luminaries alongside Bolshevik cadres. The monument departs from the constructivist steel pylons and industrial iconography common to neighboring graves, adopting traditional neoclassical funerary forms. Recessed within a vaulted masonry alcove sits a fluted stone urn draped in a sculpted mourning shroud and accented with beaded molding, adorned with a profile medallion that captures Grekov[CloseCurlyQuote]s features with academic realism. Commissioned by his medical colleagues, the design reflects the enduring humanistic traditions of the imperial-trained intelligentsia in early Soviet Leningrad.

This view from the St. Nicholas Church tower focuses on the southwestern edge of the Old Town, dominated by medieval fortifications and the lush greenery of Toompea s slopes. The massive round tower on the right is Kiek in de Ko"k ("Peep into the Kitchen"), a 15th-century artillery tower. Its formidable stone walls, over 4 meters thick, were designed to withstand cannon fire, making it the most powerful defensive tower in the Baltic region during its time. Today, it houses a fortification museum. Below the tower, the cobblestone street running vertically is Ru"u"tli Street, historically home to the city s executioner and later a quiet residential area. To the left of Ru"u"tli Street, the large building with the expansive red-tiled roof is the Swedish St. Michael s Church (Rootsi-Mihkli kirik). Originally a medieval hospital and poorhouse, it was converted into a church for the Swedish garrison and community. Its simple, robust architecture contrasts with the more ornate merchant houses found elsewhere in the Old Town. Estonia, October 16, 2025
