Monuments in Ulan Bator

There are quite a few monuments erected over the last century in Ulaanbaatar. Monuments of Ulan Bator fairly accurately characterize one or another era in the history of the Mongolian state. In 2007, 143 monuments were registered in the capital, in 2008 - 167, and in 2009 - 171 monuments.

  1. Monument to Sukhbaatar in Ulaanbaatar

The monument to Sukhe Bator, the leader of the people's revolution in Mongolia in 1921, is installed on the central square of Ulan Bator. Sukhe Bator is mounted on a horse in the vestments of Commander-in-Chief. The right hand is raised up. According to Buddhist art, there are snow lions at the pedestal on which the phrase from the speech of the leader is engraved.

The project, which would fully respond to the requests of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the MPRP, was being chosen for a very long time. The first statue, made by K.I. Pomerantsev, a Soviet artist, was soon transferred to the Military Museum. But on the central square since 1946, on June 8, the work of Sonomyn Choimbol is to this day.

During the manufacture of this statue serious difficulties appeared. In the capital of Mongolia there was not such a large workshop to accommodate such a figure. The material from which the monument to Sukhbaatar was made had to be brought from other cities. However, the work was completed on time and established on the 25th anniversary of the People’s Revolution.

  1. Monument of Genghis Khan in Ulaanbaatar

The monument to Genghis Khan is visible from afar. This colossal statue clearly reflects the greatness of the national hero of Mongolia and the whole delight of the people who honor the "father of the nation." The construction of the monument took three years, $ 4 million and 250 tons of stainless steel. The statue is considered the main attraction of the country.

The monument, opened in 2008, was built on a grand scale. Genghis Khan, mounted on a horse, is not only the largest equestrian statue in the world (the height of the monument is 40 meters excluding the 10-meter pedestal). The museum’s two-story base houses an art gallery, an art gallery, a souvenir shop, etc. And over time it is planned to place around the whole town of the yurts, which, according to the plan, will make up a thematic town, revealing all sides of Mongolian life.

The place for the statue was also chosen not by chance. The Mongols believe that it was on the hill where the monument was erected that their great history began. In 1177, young Temuzhin (the future Genghis Khan) found a golden whip here - a symbol of great luck. Temuzhin regarded the find as a sign given by the gods for the realization of his long-cherished dream - to unite disparate Mongolian tribes. In 1206, he proclaimed the creation of Great Mongolia, one of the largest empires in history.

  1. Portrait of Genghis Khan on Mount Bogd Khaan Uul in Ulan Bator

Another significant symbol of Genghis Khan's glorification was the placement of his image on the mountain towering above Ulan Bator. This idea arose spontaneously when the initiator of one of the projects to perpetuate the Khan was denied due to lack of funds in depicting the features of the beloved ruler through a flower bed in the central square of the city of Ulan Bator.

 The portrait image of Genghis Khan, whose gaze is directed towards the capital, was created on the northern slope of Um mountain by the mountain of Bogda Uul west of Zaisan, in connection with the 800th anniversary of the formation of the Great Mongolian state. The official opening took place on July 7, 2006. The height of the portrait image is 240 meters, the width of the chest is 320 m, and the entire occupied area of​the portrait is 4.6 hectares. The portrait image looks roughly equal to Zaisan Tolga.

The image of Genghis Khaan was created from the most recent portrait, that is, a portrait approved in Taiwan, which is considered to be a real one.

  Part of the portrait headdress is made of white marble. Marble is supplied by Erdenet mining and processing plant. The president personally expressed a desire to put stones over the image's theme. The part of the image, depicting the head, was laid by the military.

The monument was designed by the famous Mongolian artist and sculptor Denzen Barsbold. According to the author, the monument is not only a monument to the famous British rock group, but also a symbol of the young, progressive generation of Mongols who grew up on the Beatles songs.

On the brick wall there are cast bas-reliefs of each of the members of the rock group - John Lennon is depicted with a grenade in his hand - a peculiar symbol of the cultural "explosion" that produced the Beatles, Ringo Starr is depicted with a tambourine, George Harrison - with a dove on his shoulder, and Paul McCartney, as the only Beatle who did not stop the concert activity, - a little aside from the other members of the group.

 A bronze sculpture of a young man playing a guitar is installed on the back of the monument, the wall behind him is framed in the form of a staircase of an apartment building, where Beatles fans gathered in the 60s of the 20th century, listened to and played their songs. The Beatles Monument serves as a street scene for Ulan Bator's musicians; concerts and performances by contemporary Mongolian rock bands and other popular performers often take place here.
