Alica Seleznyova’s Alley
This alley, named after Alica Seleznyova from the book series by Kir Bulychev included in the “Alice’s Adventures” series, is decorated with approximately 25 mountain ash trees. In front of the alley there is a granite memorial stone half-buried in the ground, which bears a plaque indicating the name of the alley and the date of its establishment. The plaque also features a stylized image of Alica with a talker bird perched on her shoulder, similar to the portrayal of the character from the TV film “Guest from the Future” played by Natasha Guseva (Murashkevich).
Alica Igorevna Seleznyova is the protagonist of the series of fantastic children’s books by Kir Bulychev, “Alice’s Adventures”, as well as various film adaptations, such as films, cartoons, and TV shows like “The Secret of the Third Planet” and “Guest from the Future”. Alica is a young girl who lives in Moscow at the end of the 21st century. She first appeared in literature in 1965 when the first stories about her were published in the annual almanac “World of Adventures” under the name “The Girl with whom nothing would happen”. The character was named after the author’s daughter. The character gained its greatest fame in the late 1980s after the release of the movie “Guest from the Future”. In this movie, Alica is portrayed as a young schoolgirl living in a futuristic Moscow in the end of 21st century, around age 12. She attends high school and is part of a group of young scientists. Her age and educational background vary in different stories, but in most cases, she is portrayed as a junior high school student. She travels extensively, visiting distant planets, dungeons, Atlantis, and even the era of legends 26 thousand years ago. Her father, Igor Seleznyov, is a cosmologist, professor of zoology, and director of the Moscow Zoo of the Future. Her mother, Kira Seleznyova, is renowned as the architect of the Solar System. Alice spends more time with her father than her mother. Alica has a vibrant personality: she’s energetic, impulsive, and often impresses adults with her courage and intuition. She often associates with peers like Pashka Geraskin. Despite her honesty, Alica sometimes pulls a prank if she feels adults might interfere with her plans.
