At the entrance to Red Square, in front Voskresenskii gate to a small passage that connects the past with the Manege Square, there is a sign called” zero kilometer of roads of the Russian Federation”. It has become a landmark of the city and there are folk beliefs, although the monument has appeared recently, just twenty years ago. “Zero kilometer of roads” is the symbol of wish fulfillment: you have to stand on it, make a wish, throw a coin over your shoulder and it'll come true. This, by the way, enjoy people, so to speak, without a certain residence, actively collecting these pennies. The author of this attraction is A. I. Rukavishnikov, honored artist of the RSFSR, known for the works as the monuments to Vladimir Vysotsky, Sergei Mikhalkov, Fyodor Dostoevsky. How to actually count the length of roads? Where is the zero kilometre in fact, it is possible to learn it from historical sources. Previously, the count was conducted from the main post office building, and this building is Central Telegraph. It's a little North of the established popular sign at the address: Tverskaya Street 7.
