The concept and compositional design belong to the Soviet architect Boris Iofan. It is 24.5 metres (78 feet) high, made from stainless steel by sculptor Vera Mukhina for the 1937 World's Fair in Paris, and subsequently moved to Moscow. The sculpture is an example of socialist realism in an Art Deco aesthetic. The worker holds aloft a hammer and the kolkhoz woman a sickle to form the hammer and sickle symbol.
