The Walk with the Soviet Leaders
Park of Arts MUZEON performs a unique tour: The Walk with the Soviet Leaders. You will learn more about the non-obvious pieces of Soviet cultural heritage and get answers to some off-the-wall questions. When Stalin suddenly ceased to please his own portraits? Why typical statues of Lenin have so little in common with the real appearance of the leader? How did the self-irony of Leonid Brezhnev affect the monumental propaganda? You will trace the evolution of the Soviet sculpture by the examples of such great artists as Sergei Merkurov, Vera Mukhina, Yevgeny Vuchetich, Viktor Dumanyan. You will learn how the public image of authority has changed in the past 70 years and what were the rulers in real life. Discover the hidden pages of the Soviet history!
