"Don't pass by!
You can't pass by - the stele is installed approximately in the middle of the Kirovka promenade area. Made in a classical style, the stele indicates the starting point of distances from the place where you are standing.
A common monument in modern Russian cities."

"Probably the most useful monument on Kirovka. You walk past with your parents and say: "Oh, look, this is the city center!" And they say: "Where? Right here? So what?" And you say: "Oh, nothing, just." And you move on. But you talked, and talking is good!"
Сергей Князев
