- Abstract
The article offers information on the launch of Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 in Soviet Union and the Plan for Monumental Propaganda, that was presented to the People's Soviet in April 1918 in the name of Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin. Topics discussed include the exemplary figures who were selected for monumentalization, including Marx, Engels and Spartacus; the role played by artist Vladimir Tatlin in administering the plan; and the Zemo-Avchalskaya monument by artist Ivan Shadr. Also mentioned are the writings of sociologist Maurice Halbwachs on the propaganda, and a monument of Robert E. Lee, that was commissioned in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1917.
