The Friendship of Peoples Fountain is one of the symbols not only of VDNH but also of Moscow. It comprises several parts. The oval bowl of the fountain is topped off with a golden sheaf of wheat, industrial hemp and sunflowers.Around the sheaf, there are 16 gilded statues of girls symbolising the Soviet republics: their number sixteen corresponds to the number of the administrative units that the USSR consisted of at the time the heritage site was created. The girls each hold in their hands the agricultural plant that was most often grown in their corresponding republics.
