Repinsky Square, Moscow
Live webcam shows a fountain in the park (square) named after Repin in Moscow in real time. The camera is installed on the House on the embankment on Serafimovich Street. The Repinsky Fountain is located opposite the House on the Embankment, next to Bolotnaya Square. It is a bowl with jets that strike up and towards the center. The fountain was built in 1948 by German prisoners of war, and the bowl is made of remelted German guns. In 1958, a monument to Ilya Repin was erected on the square and it was renamed - the unofficial name «Repinsky» was also assigned to the fountain. In the 1990s, the squares returned to their former name, but the people continued to call the fountain Repinsky. On the 2nd Sandy street of the Sokol district, there is a twin brother of the fountain, which was also built by prisoners of war.
Initially, the fountain was light and music, the backlight worked in time with the music, but due to the large number of cars it was no longer audible and the music was turned off and the lighting was left. Loudspeakers have been preserved on the pillars around the fountain. Before the winter season, the fountain is canned: drained and washed, and in order to preserve its decorative elements, protective metal shields are installed.
