Worker with Torch Monument

Worker with Torch Monument (August 2013)

Standing where Shkolny Pereulok forks into two streets is an excellent example of a Soviet style statue which is dedicated to Soviet youth. It depicts an idolised version of a strong male Soviet worker who is holding a torch up into the air. This type of statue would have previously graced many Soviet cities but now most of them have fallen into disrepair or have been taken down completely.
