Stalin Monument, destroyed statue, originally in Budapest
The Stalin Monument was a bronze sculpture on a limestone base that once stood in Budapest. The statue no longer exists today at its original location.
The monument was erected after 1945 to represent Soviet influence in Hungary. It was destroyed and removed in 1956 during the Hungarian Uprising.
The original site of this monument is now an empty space in the city. Visitors can see the location as a historical spot that marks an important moment in the city's past.
The removal of this monument in 1956 became a symbol of resistance and is captured in photographs from that time. These images show how strongly local people rejected Soviet control.
