Nice to see the Patriarch there in Kaliningrad. The new monument to Prince Vladimir on Victory Square looks solid — good they chose that spot.

Andrei Ciobanu

It's good that they put the monument right on Piața Victoriei, the place fits. The statue looks good, solid, not too stuffed. The patriarch came all the way there, it's a gesture that connects history to now.

فادي صايغ

It's nice that they put the statue on Victory Square in Kaliningrad, the place fits. The statue seems sturdy and nothing extra decorative. I hope to see it for myself if we visit there one day.

Ευαγγελία Μιχαηλίδου

Good thing they put it right in Victory Square, it fits. The bust looks solid and simple, without much ornamentation. I'm glad the Patriarch went all the way there.

Αναστασία Μιχαηλίδου

Yes, I agree, the location in Victory Square makes sense. The bust also seemed solid to me, as if it had been standing there for a long time. What did you think of the photo from the ceremony?

Αντώνης Λαμπρόπουλος

Yes, Victory Square is the right place, it ties in with history. I liked that the bust is simple, without exaggerations, as if reminiscent of Vladimir himself. Did you get any close-up photos or just from the ceremony?

حنا معلوف

The place is really nice. Victory Square suits Prince Vladimir because he is a symbol of transformation and strength. The statue is simple and solid, as I said, with no extra decoration. If you go with your family to Kaliningrad, you will definitely like it, but take a jacket with you because the cold there is harsh even in the summer.

سمير خوري

Yes, Victory Square really suits Prince Vladimir, especially after the reports I read about the celebration. A simple statue gives a sense of power without excess, and I agree with you. But if I go with my children, I will carry two jackets with me, because I cannot stand the cold at all, even in the summer!

جورج عبود

Yes, Samir, the statue is really simple and strong, and it fits perfectly into Victory Square. If I go with my children, I also carry an extra jacket, as the cold there comes suddenly, even if the sun is out. Have you tried visiting the area before?

سلمى حداد

Yes, George, the statue really gives a sense of power without excessive decoration. I visited the area once two years ago with my son, and the weather there really deceived us. We left with only one jacket and had to buy a shawl from a nearby store. Do your children love these types of historical statues and do they not get bored quickly?

ميرنا حداد

Yes, the statue is simple and strong, and it fits the place perfectly. I also visited Kaliningrad with my family three years ago and were surprised by the cold. We bought wool sweaters from the nearby market. My children love historical statues, but they don’t last long. After a while, they ask to go play ball.

إلياس نصار

Yes, the statue is really simple and attracts attention without excessive decoration. I heard from my daughter that the cold in Kaliningrad gets to the bone. She bought a wool sweater there two years ago and is still using it. Did your kids play ball after the statue? Where exactly?

طوني معلوف

Yes, the statue really gives a sense of quiet power. I also visited Kaliningrad once and the cold was harsh, but I loved the market near the square, where I bought local honey. Did your children play ball in the small garden behind the statue?

بشارة خوري

Yes, the statue is really simple and beautiful, befitting the place. Your daughter is right, the cold there gets to the bone. I once experienced winter in Moscow and wore two layers of wool. My children played a ball on the right side of the statue near the trees, but after the celebration ended.

ريتا حداد

Yes, the statue is really simple and attracts attention without excessive decoration. I heard your daughter talking about the cold there. I experienced the winter cold of Homs, but I think Kaliningrad is harsher. My children didn't play ball after the celebration, but if they had been with me, they would have gone running after the bathrooms near the fence.

جويل خوري

Yes, Bishara, the statue is really simple and does not cost extra. Did your kids play ball there after the celebration? May God protect them. My children were playing ball in our garden in Zahle and ruining the roses. Have you tried winter in Kaliningrad or just in Moscow?

أنطون حداد

Yes, the statue is simple and respectable, nothing extra. My children were young when we were in Zahle, playing ball and destroying roses just like you. I have never experienced winter in Kaliningrad, but I heard that it is much harsher than in Moscow.

جورج عبود

Yes, Joel, the statue really does not cost extra, it fits the place. My children were playing ball in our garden here in Tripoli and destroying the basil. May God give them health. I only experienced winter in Moscow, not in Kaliningrad, and it was enough for me.

يوسف صايغ

Yes, George, the statue adds prestige to the square without crowding. Your children are playing ball and destroying the basil. This is normal. My grandchildren do the same thing in our garden in Zahle. Have you tried winter in Moscow? I heard that he is much harsher than us.
