Monument to Vatslav Vorovsky
Monument to Vatslav Vorovsky, Bronze statue in Meshchansky District, Russia.
The bronze monument depicts Vatslav Vorovsky, a Soviet diplomat, in an unusual posture with a slight forward tilt of his body.
The monument, created by sculptor Yankel Katz in 1924, commemorates Vorovsky's assassination during the Lausanne Conference in Switzerland in 1923.
The statue stands at the former location of the Church of the Mother of God 'for Pskovians', next to the historical building of Narkomindel.
The monument is accessible from the nearby Lubyanka and Kuznetsky Most metro stations, situated within a small square near government buildings.
Local residents gave the statue nicknames such as 'Dancing Diplomat' due to its tilted posture, caused by heat affecting the wax model.
