Samson

Samson was the last of the judges of the ancient Israelites mentioned in the Book of Judges in the Hebrew Bible. When the Philistines abducted him, Samson asked to rest against one of the support pillars; after being granted permission, he prayed to God and miraculously recovered his strength, allowing him to grasp hold of the columns and tear them down, killing himself and all the Philistines with him. While this sculpture is exhibited in the Burganov house, it was made by Sergey Konenkov (1874–1971), who was a famous Russian and Soviet sculptor. He was often called the Russian Rodin.参孙（Samson）是希伯来圣经《士师记》中记载的古代以色列士师的最后一位。非利士人掳走他后，参孙请求倚靠一根支撑柱歇息；获得许可后，他向上帝祈祷，奇迹般恢复了自身力量，随即抓住立柱将其推倒，最终与在场的所有非利士人一同殒命。该雕塑现陈列于布尔加诺夫宅邸（Burganov house），其创作者为著名俄苏雕塑家谢尔盖·科涅科夫（Sergey Konenkov，1874–1971），他常被称为“俄罗斯的罗丹”。
