Public Art in Russia
You would expect a country steeped in such history to have a magnificent array of public art but alas, with wars
and revolutions, many of Russia's great statues and monuments have long since met with tragic ends.
However, of what remains it isn't hard to imagine what grand past the Russian Empire revelled in. But with all that
said, Russian artists are now creating a new art landscape based more on modern artistic expression than
honoring their past leaders.
