In 2018, a wooden structure in the shape of the letters «Podzelenye», 3.5 meters (11.5 ft) high and 25 meters (82 ft) long, was installed on the Central Beach of Yaroslavl. It also served as a bench for holidaymakers. It is now being dismantled.
The wooden lettering is to be replaced with a new frame.

The inscription was conceived as part of a landscaping project for Podzelenye Park, which runs along the street of the same name. Young architects prepared a sketch with wooden decks and hammocks for the «Create Your Own Space» festival, but funding was only enough for the letter-benches.
The Yaroslavl city administration explained: «There will be a new wooden frame.»
In addition to replacing the photo zone, the park will receive new lighting and video surveillance systems. A total of 36.6 million rubles (about $410,000 at current rates) has been allocated for these purposes, and a contractor is being sought.
