This Russian keyboard monument is a bit of a mystery. I couldn't find who, when or why, but it's fun nonetheless, so I thought I'd share it here. The stepping stone keys are located in Ekaterinburg, Russia.

Anyone know Russian? I'm curious to know what the monument sign says.

Addition: Thanks to Stas Kulesh of Real USSR and Lanedis, we know that the artist behind the monument is Anatoly Vyatkin. According to GPS My City, the 86 concrete keys weigh about 80 kilograms each ( about 176.4 lbs). The project combines the values of two different civilizations, representing the Western technological culture while maintaining the tradition of Eastern stone gardens.
