From The History of Walk of Russian Poets, Composers and Painters at Guy Mason Park

In 2003, following the idea introduced by Uli Zislin, the Curator of Washington Museum of Russian Poetry and Music and Curator of this Project, the first row of Columnar European Hornbeam trees from the family of European birch was planted, sponsored by Prof. Edward Lozansky, with Milton Grossman, the gardener of Guy Mason Park being instrumental in obtaining the permit for the plantings.

The east row of the Walk, planted April 28, 2003, is dedicated to the poets of the twentieth century Silver Age of Russian Poetry: Boris Pasternak, Marina Tsvetaeva, Osip Mandelstam, Anna Akhmatova, Nikolai Gumilev. The west row, planted April 26, 2004, is dedicated to the poets of the nineteenth century Golden Age of Russian Poetry: Aleksandr Pushkin, Mikhail Lermontov, Fyodor Tyutchev, Afanasy Fet, and Aleksandr Blok, the last in the row, who links the Golden and Silver Ages in the history of Russian poetry and these great lyricists.

A memorial stone commemorating five outstanding Russian composers, especially popular in America: Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Igor Stravinsky, Dmitri Shostakovich, Sergei Prokofiev, was placed at the meadow end of the Walk of Russian Poets, on March 25, 2006. It was sponsored by Boris and Natalia Foxman, and made and installed by Chesapeake Monuments, Baltimore, Maryland.

A segment of the west side of the Walk is dedicated, since 2011, to famous Russian painters Wassily Kandinsky, Nicholas Roerich, Kazimir Malevich, David Burliuk and Marc Shagall, who also are especially popular in America.
