    It is well worth the detour to see this monument. Easy access with the subway. Exit at VDNKh (line 6) and walk 300-400m to the statue. There is also a tram that can take you there from the subway station. Combine the visit with a...More

    The very finest achievement of socialist-realist sculpture?

    Photos don't do this justice. I went to see 'Worker and Kolkhoz Woman' on a January evening; the statue and pedestal were lit in a way that rendered the experience arresting and never-to-be-forgotten. Seeing this statue was the highlight of my week-long Moscow stay. Don't...More

    It is one of the iconic symbols of Soviet Union and I remember that all Soviet films began from the picture of this monument as this monument served as a logo for Mosfilm studio. The image appeared to be stronger than Soviet Union itself as...More

    Very good if you can get some information about it.

    Built for an important world expo in Paris. Transported there in pieces, to be reassembled on site. Was so popular in Paris that the French signed a petition to pressure French government to buy the sculpture. The USSR declined. I would not spend half a...More
