Statue of Lenin who is sitting at a desk with a book. The statue is signed. Also there is a inscription and the statue was a gift in 1971. The statue is made by Vladimir Sychev.
In 1960-1980-s Vladimir Sychev worked in monumental sculpture. For several decades he created over 300 works in bronze, granite and marble. Most notable, in particular, are high reliefs and bas-reliefs at metro stations “Frunzenskaya”, “Narva” and “Ploshchad Vosstaniya”. As well as a monument to SM Kirov at the Elektrosila plant, a bust of Lenin in the Tauride Palace, a sculptural composition and a light curtain In the Tauride Garden. Vladimir Sychev died in 1995, continuing to work until the last days. Unfortunately, in the post-Soviet years, many of his projects remained unrealized. However, the artist’s studio still keeps many sketches, models, busts, and small sculptural forms. Currently, in the creative workshop of his father, fruitfully works his son – sculptor Andrei Vladimirovich Sychev.

Big heavy statue of Felix Dzerzhinsky. Quality piece and hard to find.
Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky (1877-1926), nicknamed “Iron Felix”, was a Bolshevik revolutionary and official. Born into Polish nobility, from 1917 until his death in 1926 Dzerzhinsky led the first two Soviet state-security organizations, the Cheka and the OGPU, establishing a secret police for the post-revolutionary Soviet regime. He was one of the architects of the KGB.
Dzerzhinsky spent four and a half years in tsarist prisons. Dzerzhinsky was beaten frequently by the Russian prison guards, which caused the permanent disfigurement of his jaw and mouth. In 1916, Dzerzhinsky was moved to the Moscow Butyrka prison, where he was soon hospitalized because the chains that he was forced to wear had caused severe cramps in his legs. Despite the prospects of amputation, Dzerzhinsky recovered and was put to labor sewing military uniforms.
Felix Dzerzhinsky was freed from prison after the February Revolution of 1917. Lenin regarded Felix Dzerzhinsky as a revolutionary hero and appointed him to organize a force to combat internal threats known as Cheka. The Cheka undertook drastic measures as thousands of political opponents and saboteurs were eliminated. Besides his leadership of the secret police, Dzerzhinsky also took on a number of other roles; he led the fight against typhus in 1918, was chair of the Commissariat for Internal Affairs from 1919 to 1923, initiated a vast orphanage construction program, chaired the Transport Commissariat, organised the embalming of Lenin’s body in 1924 and chaired the Society of Friends of Soviet Cinema.
A 15-ton iron monument of Dzerzhinsky, which once dominated the Lubyanka Square in Moscow, near the KGB headquarters, also became known as Iron Felix.

Very big and heavy statue of Nikolay Chernyshevsky and signed. Made of aluminium alloy.
Nikolay Gavrilovich Chernyshevsky (1828-1889) was a Russian revolutionary, materialist philosopher, writer, editor, critic, and socialist. He was the leader of the revolutionary movement of the 1860s, and had an influence on Vladimir Lenin, Emma Goldman, and Svetozar Marković. He graduated at the local seminary where he learned English, French, German, Italian, Latin, Greek and Old Slavonic.
At St Petersburg University he kept a diary of trivia like the number of tears he shed over a dead friend. It was here that he became an atheist. By the time he graduated from the university, Chernyshevsky developed revolutionary and materialist views. He saw class struggle as the means of society’s forward movement and advocated for the interests of the working people. In his view, the masses were the chief maker of history. He is reputed to have used the phrase “the worse the better”, to indicate that the worse the social conditions became for the poor, the more inclined they would be to launch a revolution.
Russian bolshevik Vladimir Ilyich Lenin praised Chernyshevsky: “..he approached all the political events of his times in a revolutionary spirit and was able to exercise a revolutionary influence by advocating, in spite of all the barriers and obstacles placed in his way by the censorship, the idea of a peasant revolution, the idea of the struggle of the masses for the overthrow of all the old authorities”

The “Square of Heroes” part on this huge memorial site is a long waterpoul wich represents the river Volga wich was a stronghold of the Soviets in the battle of Stalingrad. Along the poul there are numerous statues and this is one of them.
The Mamayev hill was the highest point in Stalingrad and thus an important objective of the German Army during the battle of Stalingrad.
Fighting for this hill began on 13 September 1942, when German troops assaulted the fortified Mamayev, which was defended by the Soviet Army. When the Germans took the hill, they began firing on the centre of Stalingrad. The Soviets retook Mamayev on 16 September 1942, suffering extreme losses. The Germans assaulted the hill an avarage of 12 times a day and the hill changed several times of ownership during the battle. The German Army managed to take half of Mamayev hill on 27 September 1942. This situation remained unchanged untill the defenders’s relief by the Sovjet winter offensive on 26 January 1943 wich was a turning point on the Eastern Front.

Chollima is an important symbol in North Korea. The state also gave the name to the Chollima Movement, which promoted fast economic development, similar to that of the Chinese Great Leap Forward.

The Chollima Statue is a monument on Mansu Hill in Pyongyang. The monument was constructed as a gift to Kim Il Sung. The statue was unveiled on 15 April 1961, the 49th birthday of Kim Il Sung. The monument is 46 meters tall in total. The two figures riding the Chollima, a worker and a woman peasant, are 7 meters and 6.5 meters tall, respectively. The worker raises a document from the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the peasant holds a sheaf of rice. The figures are made of bronze, while the base is granite.

Sculpture made from the gigantic statue “Motherland Calls”.
The Motherland Calls is the compositional centre of the monument-ensemble “Heroes of the Battle of Stalingrad” in Volgograd, Russia, former Stalingrad.
It was designed by sculptor Yevgeny Vuchetich and declared the tallest statue in the world in 1967. At 85 metres (279 ft), it is the tallest statue in Europe and the tallest statue of a woman in the world. The construction of the monument was started in 1959 and completed in 1967. It was the tallest sculpture in the world at the time of creation. Restoration work on the main monument of the monument complex was done in 1972, when the sword was replaced by another entirely consisting of stainless steel. It is most likely that Vuchetich sculpted the figure from the discus thrower Nina Dumbadze, and the face from his wife Vera.

Miniature statue of Francisco Franco ruler of Spain. Francisco Franco (1892-1975) was a Spanish general and politician who ruled over Spain as Head of State and dictator after the Nationalist victory in the Spanish Civil War in 1939, until his death in 1975. So he ruled for 36 years.
Coming from a upper class family he joined the militairy in 1910 and would go on to have a successful military career in Morocco and advanced through the ranks at a very young age. He served in the Rif War and was in 1926 promoted General at age 33, the youngest in Europe. As a conservative and a monarchist, Franco opposed the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of the democratic secular republic in 1931. He nevertheless continued his position in the Republican Army and in 1934 led the brutal suppression of the miners’ strike in Asturia, which sharpened the antagonism between Left and Right in the country.
After the leftist Popular Front came to power after the 1936 elections, Franco joined other Generals who launched a coup the same year, intending to overthrow the republic. The coup failed to take control of most of the country and precipitated the Spanish Civil War. Wich resulted in 500.000 deaths.
In the Spanish civil war Franco was helped by Nazi Germany. The war had many facets, and different views saw it as class struggle, a war of religion, a struggle between dictatorship and republican democracy, between revolution and counterrevolution, between fascism and communism.

This is a beautiful Russian art style statue made in the 70’s. There different issues made of this statue in the Soviet years but this one is more unique because of it’s size. Normally they were made much smaller. This one is the biggest one made making it much more rare.
In 1959, this statue promoting the slogan Let Us Beat Swords into Plowshares was donated by the Soviet Union to the United Nations and was made of bronze. It was sculpted by Yevgeny Vuchetich to represent the human wish to end all wars by converting the weapons of death into peaceful and productive tools that are more beneficial to mankind. It is standing at the United Nations building still to this day.
It was donated to improve relationsships between the Soviet Union and Western Country’s. Wich did not work.
Yevgeny Vuchetich was a prominent Soviet sculptor and artist. He is known for his heroic monuments, often of allegoric style, including The Motherland Calls, the largest sculpture in the world at the time.

This is a big golden heavy massive metal statue of Lenin. It is bigger than most of the metal staues of Lenin who are about 26-30cm./10-11.8inch. tall. So that makes this statue that more rarer and more amazing. And amazing it is. You will not find a statue like this quickly. It is made in mid 70’s like a lot of these statues. Metal statues of Lenin are not rare because they were made in mass numbers in the 70’s, but sometimes one of them is more extraordinairy than usually. Like this one.
Another statue of Lenin.

In 1920-1921 he travelled throughout China and saw the poor conditions of farmers and workers. He became a member of the Communist Party and his political talents was noticed by dutchman Henk Sneevliet. At the end of the 1920’s Mao developed political theory’s wich later would become known as Maoism. His confidant Lin Biao collected quotations of Mao wich wich would become The Red Book. This is the most printed book in history after The Bible.
With The Great Leap forward he wanted to become the greatest steel production nation of the world and ordered every school, factory, farm and even hospitals to have an oven to produce steel.
After that he imposed The Cultural Revolution in 1966 and creating The Red Guard.
In 1976 he died and Deng Xiaoping took control and reformed China in both kapitalism and socialism.
