???? MUZEON PARK of Arts, Fallen Monument Park, COMMUNIST Statues (Budget Travel Russia){Moscow RUSSIA}
Budget Travel Russia #17
Muzeon Park of Arts, or Fallen Monument Park, contains hundreds of symbols and sculptures, many of which were created during the Soviet era glorifying the leaders of the USSR. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, these icons were decommissioned and then later displayed for public view in the park.
Matt passes through Muzeon for an overview of the art, including the Communist statues of Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin and the hammer and sickle, all the while observing Moscovites relaxing and at play in the comfort of a decent autumn afternoon.

Gorky Park & View from Observation Deck, Garden of Fallen Monuments in Moscow, Russia
Thanks for joining in on another video from our trip to Moscow! This video is a compilation of clips from the second day of our trip - first we start at Gorky Park, named after Maxim Gorky and a large, pretty park right in central Moscow at the Park Kultury Metro stop. Right at the entry gate there is a museum, at the top of which is a large observation deck area - this deck has nice views and is hardly ever crowded either!
After views from the top, we head across the street - more specifically, under the street since Moscow is known for all their road underpasses! The large building there is the New Tretyakov Gallery, a modern Russian art museum which is in a large yet not overly striking building - in the park area facing away from the river is the Garden of Fallen Monuments, an area of Soviet statues, propaganda and other memorabilia from a bygone era. Here you see busts of Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky and many other Soviet figures - these were all around the city and after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 were torn down as a sign of rebellion and victory. Many of these now reside in this park - it is an amazing thing to see!
One last thing - ever seen the 007 movie Goldeneye? Well, the scene where Bond finds out Alec Trevelyan is still alive and is the enemy Janus is set in this same garden...interestingly, that scene was set in St. Petersburg, NOT in Moscow where the park actually resides!
Enjoy the video!

MUZEON - FALLEN MONUMENT PARK
Muzeon Park of Arts or Fallen Monument Park of Moscow neighboring is one of the biggest Sculpture museum on open air in Russia.
Fallen monuments stand tall in park of Soviet-era relics
Once up on a time, they'd have taken centre stage in public places right across the capital. But now Moscow's Soviet-era statues can all be found in just the one place.
From obvious candidates like Stalin and Lenin, through to revolutionary workers and the founder of the secret police, some nine hundred statues now reside in the same Moscow park.
Here's Svetlana Kurakina to tell us more.

A New Stalin Monument Attracts Flowers And Vandals
A new statue of Josef Stalin has been erected in the city of Lipetsk -- the latest example of the gradual rehabilitation of the Soviet leader's legacy in Russia.

RUSSIA: MONUMENT ERECTED BY THE DESCENDANTS OF THE WHITE GUARD
Russian/Nat
It may have been the 80th anniversary of the Russian Revolution, but the families of those who fought the Communist Reds held their own remembrance ceremony.
Descendants of the White Guard - the Tsar's military fighting force - on Saturday erected a monument in Moscow to remember those who lost their lives fighting Communism.
In Russia they're called the Whites -- those who fought to save the monarchy against a Communist takeover.
It was a bloody battle in which millions died on both sides and the Communists emerged victorious to usher in 80 years of Red rule.
But now Russia has moved towards democracy, those who fought the Communists are eager for their place in history to be recognised.
To accomplish that, these men -- most of them descendants of soldiers who fought in the Tsar's White Guard -- have erected a new monument to honour their fallen forefathers.
When the 1917 Revolution began, it became apparent that the Tsar's professional army were up against a massive nationwide force determined, at any price, to win victory.
For more than four years the Whites defended the monarchy, but in 1922 they buckled under the communist force.
Now Russia's monarchist movement is undergoing a revival, and the White Guards' Club is part of that.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
Of course we are not calling for the immediate restoration of the monarchy in Russia. We understand clearly that people in Russia are not yet ready for the monarchy, but we see our main task as preparing the people for the return of the monarchy.
SUPER CAPTION: Vladimir Petukhov, Leader of the White Guards Club
The Club is determined that those who died fighting to preserve the monarchy should not be forgotten.
The monument is located in downtown Moscow at the All Saints Church, and it is the first ever Russian monument to be dedicated to anti-Communist forces.
It is shaped like a cross, and is being erected on what was once the grave site of hundreds of White Guard soldiers who died fighting the Bolsheviks in Moscow.
The grave site was destroyed under Communist rule, and the tombstones were purged to remake the graveyard into a communist park.
Now, with the help of the Orthodox church, the site is being restored to its former glory.

Russia/Moscow (Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknow Soldier-Kremlin) Part 10
Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries.
See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
The Russian Tomb of the Unknown is just outside the Kremlin. The Changing of the Guard ceremony is fascinating in every country.The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (Могила Неизвестного Солдата in Russian, [mɐˈɡʲilə nʲɪɪˈzvʲɛsnəvə sɐlˈdatə]) is a war memorial, dedicated to the Soviet soldiers killed during World War II. It is located at the Kremlin Wall in the Alexander Garden in Moscow.
The remains of the unknown soldiers killed in the Battle of Moscow in 1941 were initially buried in a mass grave of the Shtyki Memorial at the 40th km of the Leningrad highway at the city of Zelenograd. This was the location of the closest approach of the German armies to Moscow during the war. To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the battle, in December 1966 these remains were relocated to the Kremlin Wall. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was designed by architects D. I. Burdin, V. A. Klimov, Yu. R. Rabayev and sculptor Nikolai Tomsky, and was unveiled to the public on May 8, 1967. The dark red porphyry monument is decorated with a bronze sculpture of a laurel branch and a soldier's helmet laid upon a banner.
In front of the monument, there is a five-pointed star in a square field of labradorite, which emanates the Eternal Flame from its center. The flame illuminates a bronze inscription Имя твоё неизвестно, подвиг твой бессмертен (translit.: Imya tvoyo neizvestno, podvig tvoy bessmerten, Your name is unknown, your deed is immortal). The torch for the memorial's Eternal Flame was transported from Leningrad, where it had been lit from the Eternal Flame at the Field of Mars.
To the left of the tomb is a granite wall with an inlay stating: 1941 - To Those Who Have Fallen For The Motherland - 1945. To the right of the tomb, lining the walkway are dark red porphyry blocks with incapsulated soils from hero cities, Leningrad, Kiev, Stalingrad, Odessa, Sevastopol, Minsk, Kerch, Novorossiysk, Tula and Brest, Murmansk and Smolensk. The plate for “Stalingrad” read “Volgograd” until September 2004. Further to the right of these monuments is an obelisk in red granite, listing the names of 40 “Cities of Military Glory” divided into groups of four. This monument was dedicated on May 8, 2010.
In 1997, a Guard of Honour of the Kremlin Regiment (which had guarded the Lenin Mausoleum) was restored at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier by the federal law of December 8, 1997, On Immortalizing the Soviet People’s Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. A Changing of the Guard Ceremony takes place every hour.
RUSSIA. MOSCOW. Putin opens monument to Stalin's victims, dissidents cry foul
President Vladimir Putin inaugurated a monument to the victims of Stalinist purges on Monday (October 30), but Soviet-era dissidents accused him of cynicism at a time when they say authorities are riding roughshod over civil freedoms.
The Wall of Grief occupies a space on the edge of Moscow's busy 10-lane ring road and depicts a mass of faceless victims, many of whom were sent to prison camps or executed on Josef Stalin's watch after falsely being accused of being enemies of the people.
Nearly 700,000 people were executed during the Great Terror of 1937-38, according to conservative official estimates..
