Worker and Kolkhoz Woman

Worker and Kolkhoz Woman (Russian: Рабочий и колхозница, romanized: Rabochiy i kolkhoznitsa) is a sculpture of two figures with a hammer and a sickle raised over their heads. The concept and compositional design belong to the Soviet architect Boris Iofan. It is 24.5 metres (78 feet) high, made from stainless steel by sculptor Vera Mukhina for the 1937 World's Fair in Paris, and subsequently moved to Moscow.
