      🏛 Ho Chi Minh Monument

      площадь Хо Ши Мина (у м. «Академическая»)

      A 1990 monument: a figure of the Vietnamese leader against a large disc with a relief, on a high pedestal.

      • The monument was unveiled on 18 May 1990, on the eve of Ho Chi Minh's birthday.
      • The authors are the sculptor Vladimir Tsigal and the architect Rudolf Kananin; Tsigal received the Vietnamese Order of Friendship for the work.
      • In front of the sun disc is a figure of a Vietnamese man rising from his knees, and on the back there are tropical flowers and bamboo.
      • The pedestal bears Ho Chi Minh's words: "Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom."
      • Because of its shape the monument was jokingly nicknamed the "flying saucer monument".
      • The square was named after Ho Chi Minh in 1969 — 21 years before the monument.
      • Vietnamese wedding motorcades often come here.
