The Alexander Gardens were laid out in 1819–22. On the far side of the gardens, statues based on Russian fairytales such as the Prince and the Frog and the Fox and the Stork, spotlit amid mosaic-encrusted basins and balustraded walkways linked to a mall beneath Manezhnaya ploshchad, evince Mayor Luzhkov's desire to transform Moscow's image from that of a drab metropolis into a prosperous fun city.
