Ho Chi Minh Monument, Bronze and stone monument near Akademicheskaya metro station, Moscow, Russia.
The Ho Chi Minh Monument in Moscow is a bronze and stone structure featuring a portrait of the Vietnamese leader embedded in a large circular disc. The composition includes a sculptured figure of a man rising from a kneeling position, creating a dynamic focal point of the memorial.
The memorial was inaugurated in 1990, marking the 100th birthday of Ho Chi Minh with a celebration of his significance. The Soviet Central Committee had approved its construction in 1985, reflecting the historical ties between the nations.
The site carries the name of Vietnam's founding leader and serves as a gathering place where the Vietnamese community in Moscow maintains connections to their homeland. It becomes especially lively during celebrations and commemorative days that matter to the diaspora.
The site sits near Akademicheskaya metro station, making it simple to reach by public transport without complicated connections. The location in the Akademichesky District keeps it accessible even during busy times.
Many Moscow residents playfully call the memorial the 'flying saucer monument' because of its rounded disc shape. The resemblance to a commemorative Soviet ruble coin has become a familiar reference in local conversation.
