Memorial


For my memorial I chose to make a monument for Proti Ztrate Pameti. It is a campaign against forgetting the past of the Czech Republic. "We believe that the freedom that we have in our country for 25 years, is commonplace and it is important to weigh it - despite some problems that plague our contemporary society. Incidentally, many of them have their roots in the communist past, and therefore this year's campaign subtitle Communism still hurts . "
This campaign for me is very important because my family was ostracized by the communist regime. I would place this statue where Stalin Used to stand ant letna. 



Stalin's Monument (sometimes also derisively nicknamed "the queue for meat"[1]) was a massive granite statue honoring Joseph Stalin that was unveiled on 1 May 1955 after more than 5½ years of work in PragueCzechoslovakia. It was the world's largest representation of Stalin, and was destroyed in 1962.





The Metronome, the work of sculptor Vratislav Karel Novák, was erected in 1991 atop the massive stone plinth that originally served as the base for the monument to Soviet leader Josef Vissarionovich Stalin


"Unveiling of installation The Tears of Stalin (Stalin's tears) in Letná Park Silvie Markova.
According to her, it is part of the project director and artistic boss Vienna group Theatrecombinat Claudia Bosse, who called Explosion silence. Giant installation on a former largest statue of Stalin have "recalls the atmosphere of Prague during its installation and removal, will symbols promises and expectations of society after the revolution in 1989". Installing the public has politically irritating. The project was prepared even before it was determined that the Czech Republic will strike on Thursday.







This is my vision for a monument at Stalin. Here you have a figure shunning the past but still being connected at the same time. Not forgetting the past when looking towards the future.
