SPICK AND SPAN: A municipal worker washes the 18th-century 12-metre high equestrian statue of Peter the Great by French sculptor Etienne-Maurice Falconet at the Senate Square in Saint Petersburg on Friday. The monument known as “The Bronze Horseman” due to the poem of the same name written by Aleksandr Pushkin in 1833, is one of the city’s landmarks. — AFP
