The
monument
to
the
12th
Chair,
dedicated
to
Ilf
and
Petrov,
famous
authors
of
the
novel
“Twelve
Chairs”,
is
located
in
the
center
of
Southern
Palmira,
in
the
City
Park
on
Deribassovska
Street.
The
monument
was
opened
on
April
1,
1999.
This
monument
is
one
of
the
favorite
places
of
citizens
and
guests
in
the
whole
city.
The
monument
is
a
little
chair
that
is
placed
on
the
marble
pedestal.
Ear
the
chair
there
is
a
suitcase
that
belongs
to
Ostap
Beder.
On
the
back
of
the
chair
you
can
read
the
most
famous
expressions
from
the
novel:
“How
much
for
opium
for
the
people?”,
“Kissia
and
Ossia
were
here”,
“All
the
contraband
is
produced
in
Odessa
on
the
Mala
Arnautska
Street”
etc.
There
is
also
a
phrase
written
on
the
pedestal
“Citizens
of
Odessa
–
Ilf
and
Petrov”.
The
chair
is
famous
for
the
fact
that
visitors
can
sit
on
it
and
take
beautiful
pictures.
One
of
the
local
citizens
also
thought
of
a
great
way
to
make
profit:
he
is
offering
to
take
picture
on
the
chair
with
the
hat
and
the
scarf.
