Worker and Kolkhoz Woman (Russian: Рабо́чий и колхо́зница Rabochiy i

Kolkhoznitsa) is a 24.5 meter (78 feet) high sculpture made from stainless

steel by Vera Mukhina for the 1937 World's Fair in Paris, and subsequently

moved to Moscow. The sculpture is an example of the socialist realistic

style, as well as Art Deco style. The worker holds aloft a hammer and the

kolkhoz woman a sickle to form the hammer and sickle symbol.
