Book made in the Soviet Union in the Russian and English language, 1976. Great artbook about Nikolai Tomsky.
Nikolai Tomsky (1900-1984) was a much decorated well know sculptor. The sculptor first came to attention with his memorial to Sergey Kirov, a heroic bronze with friezes around the base, for which he won the 1941 Stalin Prize.
Thereafter his career developed in an official direction; he would be eventually tasked to re-design Lenin’s own sarcophagus, produce Stalin’s bust at Stalin’s grave, and produce at least five major statues of Lenin throughout the Soviet Union. His distinctive red-granite Lenin stood in the Leninplatz of East Berlin from 1970 to 1992.
