Some Monuments of Moscow
This is a small review of some monuments in Moscow, Russia.
The one above is probably can be called a monument for the Donkey from “The Shrek” movies, the resembles is astonishing.
I don’t know the name for this, but it seems it might be called something like “Half-a-boy speaks with two headless-girls”.
This one is about some crazy train, who sacrificed a pair of his wheels and left them on rails in order to get freedom and travel freely without rails.
This one is the only official monument devoted to the water-pipe system. It is even taller than nearest multi-stored buildings.
There were many monuments to Lenin erected during the Soviet Era, but this one should beat all the records of weirdness: here Lenin stands on some sort of self moving railroad car constructed specially for one human to stand on top of it… I wonder if this monument has traveled across the Russian railroad system to distant villages to introduce advanced Soviet Art ideas to respected countrymen.
And this one is also from the Soviet Era times, it depicts a “Worker Man” with something that nowadays youth calls a cell phone. It looks very timely in this age of phones or iphones madness.
If you liked this you’ll probably would like to see this old post about the alike monuments from other Russian cities.

The first photo shows a monument to Asian folklore characters - Nasreddin Hodja and his donkey. Image of Shrek and the donkey is taken from the legends of Nassredin.

We have so much public art here in the U.S., most of it is very bad.
