Monument to Friedrich Engels, Bronze and granite monument at Prechistenskiye Vorota Square, Russia
The Friedrich Engels monument features a 6-meter tall bronze figure standing with crossed arms on a red granite cubic pedestal with semicircular benches.
The monument was installed in 1976 near Kropotkinskaya metro station following the demolition of older buildings to create a new square in Moscow.
The statue represents Engels as a German philosopher and social scientist who collaborated with Karl Marx in developing communist theories and workers' rights concepts.
The monument stands at coordinates 55.7441841, 37.6011799, accessible via the Kropotkinskaya metro station and visible from the surrounding stone-paved platform.
During the 1990s, despite calls for its removal, Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov issued orders to preserve this Soviet-era memorial.
