Stalin's Boots

Stalin's Boots

A life-sized copy of the tribune of the Stalin Monument in Budapest stands in front of the entrance of Statue Park. Wikipedia says "this is not an accurate copy of the original but only an artistic recreation by sculptor Ákos Eleőd." These boots are roughly 10 feet high.

Lenin's statue peeks out from an alcove in the brick gates of the park. The metal plate at the center of the image is inscribed with the names of the victims of the 1956 Hungarian uprising, which was put down by soviet tanks.

Charge of the Proletariat

One of the most dynamic and interesting works in Statue Park. The title "Charge of the Proletariat" is completely unofficial, it reflects my reading of the intent of this statue.
