to the Sculpture Park of the Central House of Artists or Muzeon Park of  Arts. Also know by expats as the Fallen Monument Park.  In 1991 when the Soviet Union collapsed many socialist realist statues were removed from their pedestals, and dumped in the park where many of them were left in their fallen form. 

Symbolizing the Gulag.
