Glacial erratic (a large granite boulder) left behind by the retreating Scandinavian Ice Sheet over 11,000 years ago. The inscription ":041d:0415:0422 :0412:041e:0419:041d:0415" (pronounced Net Voyne), meaning "NO TO THE WAR," is a direct political protest against the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. Activists often paint this slogan in forests, on snow, on frozen rivers, or in elevators to avoid CCTV cameras and police patrols found in city centers. This stone serves as a quiet but firm artifact of internal resistance, standing in the silent forest just kilometers from the station and the dacha community.
