This product highlights the city's historical links, education system, and local folklore within its minute detailing, being an exact replica of the compelling monument situated on Fontanka embankment.

Nestled on the Fontanka River embankment in one of St. Petersburg's most picturesque locations, the Imperial School of Jurisprudence became a center of excellence, producing generations of law professionals. Dressed in unique yellow-green uniforms, which featured caps and overcoat collars mimicking the coloration of a Siskin bird, the students became synonymous with the nickname 'Chizhik-Pyzhik'. This name has not only endured but has also been celebrated throughout the decades, going on to inspire the creation of our featured 1994 model.

In 1994, during the Golden Ostap Humor Festival, leaders of the city decided to commemorate this long-standing urban folklore symbol. A monument, in the form of a petite bronze statue dedicated to the Chizhik-Pyzhik, was unveiled near a fountain on the water's edge of the Fontanka River. Our 1994 model is a faithful reproduction of this beloved figure, resonating with the spirit and charm of St. Petersburg, and serving as a historical narrative of the Imperial School of Jurisprudence.
