These are Atlantes in Yekaterinburg, which live under the bridge to Vtorchermet District. Their author is Pavel Shugurov, a painter from Vladivostok.
The Atlantes tell us about human resistance to the drabness of the city and to the pressure of personal problems. Fifteen characters represent different types of resistance: someone pairs up with others, someone drags out his life alone, and someone just touches life with their hairend.
