Muzeondagi Stalin yodgorligi

The Stalin monument is a granite sculpture that stands among hundreds of Soviet artworks in the Muzeon Park. The park now serves as an open-air museum displaying removed communist monuments from across Moscow.

Sculptor Sergey Merkurov created the statue in 1938 as a symbol of state power during the Soviet era. After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, it was removed from its original location and relocated to the park.

The monument displays Soviet sculptural tradition with its preference for monumental stone forms and classical facial features. Visitors can observe how such works shaped Soviet-era public spaces.

The monument is located in a section of the park accessible via Park Kultury or Oktyabrskaya metro stations. The park is freely accessible, allowing visitors to walk freely among the many sculptures and explore the collection at their own pace.

The work is one of more than 700 Soviet monuments brought together in the park, forming an extraordinary collection of removed state sculpture. This concentration reveals the abundance of works that once defined the city's appearance.
