Monument to Felix Dzerzhinsky, Moscow
Monument to Felix Dzerzhinsky, Moscow, Bronze statue in Yakimanka District, Russia
The 11-ton bronze figure stands on a granite pedestal, displaying Felix Dzerzhinsky in a long coat with detailed facial features and hands.
The monument was inaugurated on December 20, 1958, near the KGB headquarters and remained there until its removal during the 1991 Soviet coup attempt.
The statue carries inscriptions from 1991 protesters, reflecting the period when citizens expressed their opposition to Soviet-era political repression.
Visitors can find the monument in the Muzeon Park of Arts, alongside other Soviet-era statues removed from Moscow streets after 1991.
The statue required multiple cranes for careful removal to prevent damage during the 1991 protests, preserving its structural integrity for future display.
