Memorial complex "Vilyuyskoe Ring" (Mirny)

The memorial complex "Vilyui Circle" includes a bas-relief "Past, Present and Future of the Diamond Territory" in a single ensemble. Also here is the sculptural group "Kauryur and geologists" and the stele "Yakutia-mother".

Toyon Sarge or "Lord's Hitching" is a symbol of the eternal, world tree. Aal-Luuk May or "Tree of Life" has united all times into a single whole, its name "Past, Present and Future of the Diamond Territory" leads to long reflections. Yakutia is rightfully considered a treasure trove of Russia's riches. An ancient legend says that it was here that God flew into severe Yakut frosts. His hands were so frozen that he dropped almost all the wealth from his hands. And they scattered over the entire edge. It remains only to find and collect them.

The opening of the complex took place on September 7, 2005, and was dedicated to the fiftieth anniversary of the diamond industry. The symbolic ribbon was cut by the discoverers of the Yakut diamonds Yelagina Ye. N., Shchukin VN, Sersadskikh N. N, Avdeenko V. P. Spiridonov N. N.

At the base of the monument, the pioneers are lined with a mosaic panel. Around the park is planted. Everything is united in a single complex with the common name "Vilyuiskoye ring". The large circle gradually rises in height. It symbolizes the walls of the diamond deposit tube. The circle is torn from one side. A group composition, created in full size, is depicted nearby. Ahead is slowly walking deer. On his back sits an explorer-Evenk, showing the way.

Following him in a peaceful conversation, the discoverers of the Yakut diamonds are stepping on Popugaeva L. and assistant worker F. Belikov. The composition is performed so well, the details are clearly written out, which involuntarily stops the view for a long time.

There is a high stele of black polished stone, its height is twenty-four meters, higher, at the level of 17, 5 meters, the creators mounted an artificial diamond in it. At the top of Khotun-Vilyui or Mrs. Vilyui, made of gilding. It is an old Yakut outfit. On the sides of the world are the heads of eagles and lions. On the inner side of the ring are hung bas-reliefs. They are pioneering seekers.
