Fallen Monument Park

This open-air sculpture park beside the Krymsky Val gallery gathers hundreds of statues, including toppled monuments to Soviet leaders removed from city streets after 1991. Figures of Stalin, Dzerzhinsky and Lenin stand alongside allegorical and modern works, turning a stroll into a meditation on how nations reckon with their past. Sometimes called the graveyard of fallen monuments, it offers an unusually candid outdoor museum of a country's shifting official memory.
