Vera Mukhina, THE sculptor behind the worker and kolkhoz woman sculpture, would’ve probably convinced people to keep it purely for artistic value. She allegedly did it with the “Freedom monument” in Latvia, but the Latvian “Freedom” statue is so ugly I wouldn’t have listened.
I’d keep it, maybe just change the plaque. It’s a bit disappointing how tiny the actual statue is, even T-posing Jesus looks more impressive so I think some smart architect could easily improve it. Make it cool like The Motherland Calls or the African Renaissance Monument.
