metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article examines the monuments to scientists and inventors installed in Leningrad and
  modern St. Petersburg and their influence on shaping collective historical representations of
  the past. On the basis of the analysis of reference literature and scholarship, a range of monuments
  for the study was determined, which led to the conclusions about which new monuments
  to scientists emerged in Soviet Leningrad and modern St. Petersburg more often and
  in which periods in the history of the city. The article explores the history of installation of
  some monuments with regard to both the mechanisms for developing the projects and the
  implementation of competitive procedures. The paper also addresses the initiators and reasons
  for the installation of a particular monument. The author comes to the conclusion that
  the projects for the monuments are most often initiated by the state, and less often — by the
  scientific community or some influential scientist. Business community rarely proposes to
  erect a monument to a famous scientist. The article reveals that monuments to representatives
  of the exact and natural sciences prevail over those to humanitarians, which can be attributed
  to both the applied nature of the work of the former and to the perception of the latter as part
  of the general pantheon of heroes of the national culture. A possible explanation for almost
  complete absence of monuments to historians, philologists, and philosophers in monumental
  sculpture may be due to the substitution of their role by monuments to writers and poets
  erected in large numbers both in Soviet Leningrad and in modern St. Petersburg.
