Stalin in Toompark

Across from the main building of the Baltic Station, in Toompark, a statue of Stalin was unveiled on 20 July 1950. The sculptor was Nikolai Tomsky, the architects Peeter Tarvas and August Volberg. It faced the station for eleven years. In 1961 the statue was removed. The figure did not vanish. It was kept in the yard of a road repair office, and in 1990 it went to the Estonian History Museum for the exhibition Stalinism and Estonia. Today it stands among the red monuments in the park of Maarjamäe Palace, and the spot in Toompark is green again. Pinned approximately.

Eesti keeles

Balti jaama peahoone vastas Toompargis avati 20. juulil 1950 Stalini ausammas. Skulptor oli Nikolai Tomski, arhitektid Peeter Tarvas ja August Volberg. Üksteist aastat vaatas kuju Balti jaama ja rongidelt saabujate poole. 1961. aastal ausammas eemaldati. Kuju ise ei kadunud. Seda hoiti Teede- ja Remondivalitsuse laoplatsil ning 1990. aastal sai see Ajaloomuuseumi omaks näituse "Stalinism ja Eesti" jaoks. Täna seisab kuju Maarjamäe lossi punamonumentide pargis ja koht Toompargis on taas haljasala. Asukoht on ligikaudne.
