Karl Marx

KARL MARX MONUMENT

In Teatralnaya Square directly across the road
from the Bolshoi Theatre stands Moscow’s most prominent statue of Karl Marx. The statue was carved on the spot where it stands from a 200 ton block of granite and was unveiled in 1961. The inscription on the front translates as “Workers of the world – unite!” Today teenagers like to skateboard in front of the monument and pigeons like to rest on top of Karl’s head.
