Let's Beat Swords into Ploughshares Sculpture

Let's Beat Swords into Ploughshares Sculpture (February 2011)

An excellent example of a Soviet-style sculpture is the Let's Beat Swords into Ploughshares Sculpture. Its shows an idealised Soviet worker beating a sword with an oversized hammer on an anvil in the form of a sickle, so that in whole the sculpture represents a giant hammer and sickle. At the tip of the sickle there is a space rocket, symbolising the importance of space exploration over war.
