The President of the Russian Academy of Arts Zurab Tsereteli has recreated without indemnity the bronze doors of the mausoleum of the eminent Russian commander Prince Dmitry Pozharsky who set Moscow free from invaders in the Time of Troubles, as the Director General of the Suzdal Museum-Preserve Alisa Aksenova informed at the press-conference in Vladimir on October 22, 2009. She expressed her gratitude to the renowned sculptor for his noble action.
