Pomnik Lenina i Stalina w Ołomuńcu

The Lenin and Stalin Monument features three figures carved in sandstone: Stalin holding a paper scroll, Lenin, and a worker carrying a flag.

The monument was constructed between 1949 and 1955 on the site of a former synagogue that was destroyed by the Nazis in 1939.

The monument served as a central location for military parades and political celebrations throughout the communist period in Czechoslovakia until its removal.

The stone monument reached a height of 570 centimeters and was dismantled in January 1990, with its parts now stored at the Museum of Art.

In February 1989, students covered the monument with red paint and placed an executioner's hood on Stalin's head during protest performances.
