seasonal worker, or Monument to a guest worker

The phenomenon of temporary seasonal employment has a long history, and there is even a monument to a guest worker in the capital. The marble pedestal was erected on this site in 1929, and the author of this sculpture, originally conceived as a monument to a seasonal worker, is Ivan Shadr. It was he who created the composition “Cobblestone — Weapon of the Proletariat”, installed in the [Park of the December Uprising] (http://kudago.com/msk/place/park-dekabrskogo-vosstaniya/). However, the seasonal worker of the famous master of socialist realism looks more like an ancient Greek philosopher — a meaningful face, a thoughtful look, full concentration...

The monument to the seasonal worker was not erected here by chance. In the 1920s, there was a labor exchange on this territory, where working people gathered, who came to the capital from the surrounding villages in search of winter earnings.
