The sculpture located at the entrance to the Andl metro station was created in the 1980s and symbolized the cooperation of engineers from the Soviet Union and Slovakia. After its opening, the station on Prakmas Square was called Moskevsk, referring first to the Soviet team that led the work. In Russia, this cooperation then, for a change, the Czechoslovak engineers built the Moscow station Praskaja, which has kept its name to this day.
However, this is not a sufficient argument for the preservation of the inscription for Jan Bohe.
Write me a long-term defect here, every time I went by, I was ashamed. About a month ago, it started to bother me so much that I decided to do something about it. I was looking online for a petition to sign. I was actually surprised that I didn’t get gout. So I sat down and during half an hour created my own, described God’s motivations.
Metro station AndlIt began to be minted in 1980, and its construction was carried out by both engineers and architects. It was opened in 1985 under the name Mosekvsk. The station was supposed to be the sister of the Praskaja station in Moscow, to which the Slovaks succumbed. In the space to enter, there are artificial bronze casts, depicting the traditional motifs of socialist realism with the symbolism of cosmic cooperation or peace. Originally, there was a full-length sculpture of the Moscow skyline in the vestibule. But it was removed after the revolution. |
The installation of the inscription God blesses us in connection with the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine. I think that it should be enough for the Ukrainians, who came here to face the Russian bombs, if such an inscription is written here, in a country with a fallen orientation. I really don’t think it’s appropriate for us to have such inscriptions here, when we present ourselves as a failed democratic country, he said.
I miss the inscription Moskevsk Station, which was built in 1985 by the Prague and Moscow metro builders in honor of the Slovak-Soviet union. According to me, the article openly points to a mistake that actually never existed, but today it definitely does not exist, the petition text states.
In my opinion, the article is pure propaganda, I will send a statement to the editorial office. We want nothing to do with the dictatorial regime of the Russian Federation, according to the petition.
In the comments under the post on Facebook, the student also argues about historical connections, among them the cooperation between Slovakia and the Soviet Union. The Protectorate of Echoes and Moravia is also history… would we like the statue of Heydrich? he opposes with the enic father God.
It feels the same to me as if the inscriptions Prague-Berlin and Arbeit macht frei were next to the buildings built for the Protectorate of Echo and Moravia. In my opinion, we should think about whether we would want such inscriptions here. And if not, can we have inscriptions for here saying something similar, only from a different time? uvd in published for iDNES.cz.
Magistrate: Nothing will be removed, it is the essence of space
Prask magistrate with a changeable sculpture didn’t mean anything to Andla dlat.
It is a historical part of the given space, i.e. part of the architecture and art of the station, and the Transport company did not follow the path of cancel culture, said Prague Mayor Vt Hofman when asked by iDNES.cz. The Prask transport company, which owns the entire metro station, has not yet commented on the situation, but did not promise to respond to the editors on Friday.
The release of the magistracy is a big disappointment for me. However, I hope that if the petition has enough signatures, it could help convince the magistrate. I don’t think that the removal would be a violation of culture, in my opinion it is simply something that should be in a museum, not in a public space, said Boh to the address ad.
Radeck, Konv and dal
At the same station, he also found sculptures referring to the socialist past. In the subway tunnel, for example, there is a relief with cosmonauts with the inscriptions USSR and SSR, as well as a scene with the Russian inscription mir, meaning world or so.
He gave me sculptures of a detailed character so bad. But the one on Andla in the vestibule is, in my opinion, the most visible, that’s why I started to fight against it, the author of the poll justifies his action.
If the sculpture were eventually removed, it would not be the first time in Prague in recent times that the city would come to terms with the country’s communist past in a similar way. In 2020, the municipal council of Prague 6 removed the statue of Marla Konva. ikovsk street, named after the same soldier, has been called Hartigova since the beginning.
Similar debates were sparked by the statue of communist president Antonn Zpotocki in Zkolane in Kladno, for example, which was even painted red. In addition to the communist memorials, Prague was considering the return of the statue of Marl Radecki to the Malostransk nmst.
The statue, which is currently in the lapidary of the National Museum, will be an embarrassment due to the proximity of the Italian embassy, which is only a few minutes’ walk from Malostranskho nmst. Radeck also went down in history, and in 1849 he broke up Italy’s quest for independence from Austria-Hungary.
