Monument to Dzerzhinsky, Dneprodzerzhinsk

This happened after a dozen similar discoveries in other cities of the Soviet Union. Dzerzhinsky was recognized as one of the leading figures of the communist era and the main engine of the ideas of the proletariat.

Unusual architecture

Ivan Gavrilovich Pershudchev, who was born and lives in Dneprodzerzhinsk, became a sculptor. He chose a unique approach in the decoration of the monument, which describes the life activity of the politicianand his social views. The curbstone, whose height is several meters, is densely decorated with an episode of historical events mixed with mythical heroes (for example, Prometheus). Here the work of ordinary workers, peasants, blacksmiths and others is described in detail, which under the policy of the proletariat are transformed into free people, breaking free from iron chains. Symbolic sculptures are signed with an inscription about Dzerzhinsky, strictly corresponding to the spirit of that time.
