Some facts about the Monument of Family love and fidelity

So that numerous newlyweds and just couples would not hang their locks on the monument, a special iron “tree of fidelity” was placed next to Peter and Fevronia.

Another feature of the monument is that there is already a place on it in advance where you can “put your hands” there are palm prints on both sides of the text about the saints. This was done, apparently, so that citizens would not rub the monument in other places.
