Soviet art, and by extension, art and architecture of the entire Warsaw Pact nations, was always ugly, utilitarian, and heavy handed. I see they haven't changed their ways very much. In fact this statue looks less like a human than some kind of alien... or a primate. Raw, brutal, off-putting... yup, the Slavic mind is a terrible thing to behold.
