«Фигура Ангела с крестом, которым попирается у подножия вражда и злоба (змея), изображает разительную мысль — сим победиши».
The figure of the angel of the work of Boris Orlovsky.
With his left hand, the angel holds the cross, and the right one raises to the sky.
The angel's head is tilted, his gaze is fixed on the ground.
An angel with a cross tramples a snake, which symbolizes peace and quiet.
The light figure of the angel, the falling folds of clothing, the clearly expressed vertical of the cross, continuing the vertical of the monument, underscore the slenderness of the column. According to the popular legend, the sculptor gave similarities to the face of the Tsar Alexander I.
