Steve Simon - Sadako Sasaki The painting was
inspired by the following quote attributed to
Sadako Sasaki"I shall write peace on your wings
and you shall fly all over the world.

The Dagestani poet Rasul Gamzatov, when visiting
Japan, was impressed by the Hiroshima Peace
Memorial Park and its monument to Sadako Sasaki,
a girl who contracted leukemia as a result of the
radioactive contamination of the city. Following
Japanese traditions, she constructed one thousand
paper cranes, hoping (in vain) that this might
save her life. The memory of paper cranes folded
by this girla girl who to this day serves as one
symbol of the innocent victims of warhaunted
Gamzatov for months and inspired him to write a
poem starting with the now famous lines   "I
sometimes feel that the soldiers Who have not
returned from the bloody fields Never lay down to
earth But turned into white cranes... "Cranes"
became a symbol of the fallen soldiers of World
War II. So much so that a range of World War II
memorials in the former Soviet Union feature the
image of flying cranes and, in several instances,
even verses of the song
6
The metaphor of the dead soldiers, whose souls
turned into cranes, was picked up by many
sculptures across the country. And a few years
later, in the places of the battles of 1941-1945,
steles and monuments began to be erected, the
central image of which was flying cranes.
Monuments to cranes were erected in more than 30
cities around the world, symbolizing the eternal
memory of those who no longer exist in
Krasnoyarsk, Kislovodsk, Dagestan, Crimea,
Moscow, Leningrad, Samara, Chelyabinsk regions,
in Ukrainian Luhansk, Belarusian Polotsk, Uzbek
Chirchik, North Ossetia, Slovenia, Los Angeles
and many other cities and countries.
