They say that a picture is worth 1000 words. They are wrong. A picture is worth as much as the viewers' knowledge allowing to interpret what they see


Рабочий и колхозница


The worker and the kolkhoz woman statue stands 60 meters above the ground at the VDNKh (exhibition of achievements of national economy) and symbolizes the life in soviet union. The two figures hold a sickle and a hammer forming the symbol of the Russian revolution
