在<a href="https://findit.city/cn/belarus/minsk/leisure/tourism/sights/2/description">自由广场</a>，位于明斯克的<a href="https://findit.city/cn/belarus/minsk/leisure/tourism/sights/1/description">上城区</a>，对面是<a href="https://findit.city/cn/belarus/minsk/leisure/tourism/sights/3/description">市政厅</a>，矗立着一座独特的雕塑，名为“扎哈里·科尔涅耶夫的车架”。这座铜雕塑于2007年为了庆祝城市的周年纪念而建立，立即吸引了当地居民和游客的注意。作品的作者是著名的白俄罗斯雕塑家弗拉基米尔·日巴诺夫，他的作品装点了明斯克的许多角落。

历史背景 
这座雕塑是为了纪念扎哈里·科尔涅耶夫，他是明斯克在1796年并入俄罗斯帝国后第一任总督。在任期间，科尔涅耶夫表现出了极大的主动性：他建立了两个城市花园，并显著改善了城市的基础设施。雕塑描绘了一辆空的马车，仿佛在等待其主人——总督，目前正在行政大楼中处理重要事务。

雕塑的特点 
这座雕塑是根据19世纪总督马车的照片创作的，描绘了没有总督和车夫的马车。马匹的缰绳绑在一起，突出了等待和静止的感觉。雕塑中的马匹具有不同的性格：一匹似乎急于前进，而另一匹则低头顺从。这种对比的描绘象征着权力与人民之间复杂的关系。

神秘传说 
在弗拉基米尔·日巴诺夫去世后，“车架”雕塑获得了神秘物体的声誉。游客们常常在纪念碑前拍照，传说这些照片可能显示出不可预测的变化，包括出现来自另一个时代的面孔。还有人认为，坐在“车架”上可以带来旅行的好运，而在此地拍摄的新人照片可以确保家庭生活的幸福。

结论 
“扎哈里·科尔涅耶夫的车架”雕塑不仅是一个历史纪念碑，也是明斯克一个重要的文化地标。它以其艺术构思和历史意义吸引了人们的关注。雕塑既反映了历史现实，也体现了现代城市传说，成为白俄罗斯首都文化景观的重要组成部分。

On <a href="https://findit.city/en/belarus/minsk/leisure/tourism/sights/2/description">Liberty Square</a> in <a href="https://findit.city/en/belarus/minsk/leisure/tourism/sights/1/description">Upper Town</a> of Minsk, opposite the <a href="https://findit.city/en/belarus/minsk/leisure/tourism/sights/3/description">city hall</a>, stands a unique sculpture known as “Governor Zachary Korneev's Carriage”. This bronze composition was installed in 2007 in honor of the city’s anniversary and immediately attracted the attention of locals and tourists. The author of the work is the famous Belarusian sculptor Vladimir Zbanov, whose works adorn many corners of Minsk.

Historical Context 
The sculpture was installed in honor of Zachary Korneev, the first governor of Minsk after the city joined the Russian Empire in 1796. During his tenure, Korneev showed great initiative: he established two city gardens and significantly improved the city’s infrastructure. The sculpture depicts an empty carriage drawn by horses, as if waiting for its master—the governor, who is currently occupied with important affairs in the administrative building.

Features of the Sculpture 
The composition, created based on photographs of a 19th-century governor’s carriage, depicts the carriage without the governor and the coachman. The horses' reins are tied, emphasizing the feeling of waiting and stillness. The horses in the sculpture have different characters: one seems eager to move, while the other has lowered its head in submission. This contrasting depiction symbolizes the complex relationship between authority and the people.

Mystical Legends 
After Vladimir Zbanov's death, the "Carriage" sculpture acquired a reputation as a mystical object. Tourists often take photos at the monument, and there is a belief that such photos may reveal unpredictable changes, including the appearance of faces from another era. It is also believed that sitting in the “Carriage” brings good luck in travels, and photos of newlyweds at this site ensure happiness in family life.

Conclusion 
The “Governor Zachary Korneev's Carriage” Sculpture is not only a historical monument but also an important cultural landmark in Minsk. It attracts attention with its artistic concept and historical significance. The sculpture reflects both historical reality and contemporary urban legends, becoming a significant part of the cultural landscape of Belarus’s capital.
