A giant Soviet-era statue, the Worker and the Collective Farm Woman, was put back on its pedestal on November 28 in northeast Moscow after a five-year restoration
The Worker and the Collective Farm Woman by Vera Mukhina, one of the most prominent statues to shape Moscow's landscape, was dismantled for restoration in 2003.
The 24.5-meter high steel statue was first showcased at an exhibition in Paris in 1937. It features two figures which seem to be moving briskly, holding aloft a hammer and sickle, the symbols of the Soviet Union.
The official unveiling ceremony of the statue is scheduled for December 4.
