Statuette Arshaluys Khanjian (Vernissage color)

The statuette is dedicated to Arshaluys Kivorkovna Khanzhiyan (1913–1998), a resident of the Kuban village of Podgornaya, who became a symbol of compassion and memory of the fallen soldiers of the Great Patriotic War. Her life's work—her constant vigil at mass graves, caring for soldiers' burials, and preserving the names of the fallen—made her a living link between generations. The statuette embodies the image of a woman-keeper, whose service became a moral compass for thousands of people. The "Arshaluys Khanzhiyan" statuette is an artistic embodiment of the memory of a woman whose daily work became a heroic achievement. It combines: portrait precision and moral depth; historical authenticity and aesthetic expressiveness; personal service and national significance. This is not just a decorative item, but a reminder that memory is not only in words, but also in deeds; that true strength of spirit is revealed in modesty, loyalty, and caring for those who can no longer say thank you.
