Muzeon Park of Arts

This guide to Muzeon Park of Arts in Moscow starts in August 1991, days after a failed coup, when a crowd hauled down the statue of secret-police founder Felix Dzerzhinsky from Lubyanka Square and left him dented on a vacant lot by the river. It follows the other fallen Soviet figures who joined him there, Lenins, a Kalinin, a Sverdlov, and how the pile of statues became an official park in 1992. You'll also meet a pink granite Stalin, missing its nose, that once posed as friendly propaganda at the 1939 World's Fair in New York.
