Maailman rauha / World Peace, Bronze sculpture in Siltasaari, Finland.
The Maailman rauha features five bronze figures representing inhabitants of different continents holding a globe decorated with leaf patterns and raised fists.
In January 1990, Moscow presented this 650-centimeter sculpture to Helsinki as part of a cultural exchange program, receiving a Friendship of People statue.
The statue embodies international solidarity through its depiction of people from five continents united in their commitment to promoting worldwide harmony.
The sculpture remains in storage since August 2022 during the construction of Crown Bridges project and will return near its original location.
The monument garnered contrasting opinions in 2008 when Helsinki residents ranked it both the third most disliked and third most appreciated sculpture.
