How does this artwork elucidate its History?
The monument was located on a huge concrete pedestal, which can still be visited in Letná Park. It was the largest group statue in Europe, measuring 15.5 m (51 ft) high and 22 m (72 ft) long.  The sculptor was Otakar Švec, who killed himself a few days before the unveiling.The process of de-Stalinization began shortly after the unveiling of the monument. The monument, therefore, became a liability to the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. As ordered by the Soviet Union, it was taken down with 800 kilograms (1,800 lb) of explosives.
