CommunistRevolutionary Statues

We are very proud of our statues and hope you will find the following information of interest.

Once communism was secured as the ruling order inCzechoslovakia in 1950, the party commissioned the statues to be carved by three leading Czechoslovakian sculptors, Svata Halerova, Irena Kodymova and her husband Ludvik Kodym. These statues were once located across the top of the Communist Part Headquarters in Prague.

The statues were designed to depict “the exploits of the October 1917 revolution”. Two-tonne sandstone blocks were transformed into the dramatic statues you see now. The statues are of extremely high artistic quality and so carved that no moisture is able to settle anywhere on them. They are magnificent examples of their kind.

On a visit to Prague prior to the fall of Communism, the “Velvet Revolution” in 1991, a man called Drummond Shaw noticed these statues and hearing of their impending fate, made an offer to an agent. Drummond bought the statues from the Social Democratic Party and had them brought to England.

In November 1998 the statues were again “liberated” this time by Botanic Inns with the help of G & J Derry LTD. Today the statues enjoy pride of place on specially designed plinths.
