Today is Wednesday and I want to participate in a wonderful Wednesday Walk.
It is a challenge hosted by tattoodjay@tattoodjay

Today's challenge inspired me to walk to one of the most famous monuments of Moscow since the era of socialism.

This sculpture, made by sculptor Vera Mukhina in the style of socialist realism, is one of the symbols of the city of Moscow and one of the most famous monuments of the city

This sculpture was first shown to the world at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1937.
Two figures - a man worker and a woman collective farmer carry a sickle and a hammer in their hands - a symbol of the USSR
The monument symbolized the victory of victorious labor and the eternal indestructible union of the proletariat and the peasantry - the main idea of ​​communism

The sculpture was made of thin sheets of stainless steel, which reflected light and changed its color depending on sunlight.
I was not very lucky with the weather, the gray sky made the monument almost monochrome

This monument has
58 meters high (25 meters of sculpture itself and 33 meters of pedestal) and this allows you to see it from a great distance from afar
