In Tula there was a meeting of representatives of public organizations for the election of delegates to the conference of the Central Federal District where candidates for the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation would be nominated. The celebrated Russian sculptor Zurab Tsereteli was approved as a delegate to the conference by the majority of votes at the meeting.  

 

The Member of the Public Chamber Vladimir Tolstoi noted, that if Tsereteli was approved at the future conference, it would be comfortable for him to work in collaboration with Zurab Tsereteli. “I am proud, that my name has been included in the presidential list and I will represent the Tula region and Tula Public Chamber in the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation. So, a representative of the Tula region living on the Tula land will be in the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation of the new convocation. Together with Zurab Tsereteli we can contribute more than one by one” – said Tolstoi.

 

Zurab Tsereteli thanked the residents of Tula for the confidence and said, that he had not come to Tula with empty hands. He had brought designs for a bust of Leo Tolstoi. “I am waiting for the decision of the Governor or Chief Architect where and when to install the sculpture. There are four options of bronze, 3-3.5m tall. It will be my gift” – said the President of the Russian Academy of Arts.
