Adam Mickiewicz Monument, Warsaw, planned destroyed by Germany, restored by Polish People's Republic
After the end of the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 it was deliberately destroyed by Nazi Germans.
The monument was deported to the Reich , where after the war in Hamburg the Polish military mission found, among others, head and fragment of the torso. The copy of the cast was made by Jan Szczepkowski , the plinth and the fence were also reconstructed. It was the third rebuilt Warsaw monument.
The monument was unveiled again on January 28, 1950 by Bolesław Bierut [5] to close the jubilee Mickiewicz Year. However, his surroundings were not fully reproduced yet. Cast iron candles around the monument returned to Polish only in the 80s of the twentieth century , and then it returned to its place.
On 13 February 1897 the Głos magazine published an article promoting the idea of building the monument. Other newspapers soon followed the idea. Writer Henryk Sienkiewicz helped to raise awareness among the Warsaw intelligentsia, and by his effort, the Russian authorities permitted the construction of the monument.[1] A public committee was founded by Sienkiewicz, Count Michał Radziwiłł and Zygmunt Wasilewski. The committee asked people for financial contributions to help build the monument. The financial support was quickly raised and the work was assigned to sculptor Cyprian Godebski.
The monument was built on a place where several buildings, demolished in 1865, were located. From 1897 it was sculpted by Godebski in Italy. The 4.2 m tall bronze statue was cast in Pistoia, Italy.[1] Red granite column and foundations were produced by an Italian company in Baveno near Milano.[2] The statue shows Mickiewicz standing tall, with his head slightly raised and his right hand laid upon his heart. The monument was ceremonially unveiled on 24 December 1898 on the 100th anniversary of poet's birth. The ceremony was planned to be much larger, however the Tsarist authorities feared it could turn into a patriotic manifestation and banned all marches and speeches. The monument was thus unveiled in silence, in front of 12,000 people.
W 1944 pomnik został zdemontowany przez Niemców i wywieziony do Rzeszy, gdzie po wojnie w Hamburgu polska misja wojskowa odnalazła m.in. głowę i fragment torsu. Kopię odlewu wykonał Jan Szczepkowski, odtworzono także cokół i ogrodzenie. Był to trzeci odbudowany pomnik warszawski.
Monument został odsłonięty ponownie 28 stycznia 1950 przez Bolesława Bieruta[5] na zamknięcie jubileuszowego Roku Mickiewiczowskiego. Jednak jego otoczenie nie zostało wtedy jeszcze do końca odtworzone. Żeliwne znicze wokół pomnika powróciły do Polski dopiero w latach 80. XX wieku i wtedy to wróciły na swoje miejsce.
Pomnik Adama Mickiewicza w Warszawie wzniesiony został na placu powstałym z wyburzenia budynków na terenie dawnej jurydyki Dziekanka, w miejscu fontanny przeniesionej na plac Bankowy. Sam pomnik, dłuta Cypriana Godebskiego, został wkomponowany w otoczenie przez Józefa Piusa Dziekońskiego i Władysława Marconiego.
Posąg o wysokości 4,5 metra został odlany we Włoszech. Kolumna i cokół pomnika zostały wykonane z granitu pochodzącego z kamieniołomów w Baveno w Piemoncie. W Warszawie zastosowano obydwie odmiany granitu baweńskiego: różową o budowie ziarnistej oraz szarą. W oprawie architektonicznej monumentu zwraca uwagę stopniowane barw: od ciemnoszarych schodów wykonanych z granitu z Gniewania na Podolu, poprzez taras i cokół z granitu z Bovano aż po jasnoszarą odmianę tego granitu w kolumnie[1].
Zaprojektowane przez Zenona Chrzanowskiego kunsztowne ogrodzenie pomnika w postaci kutej w żelazie kraty z motywami roślinnymi zostało wykonane w warszawskiej firmie Zielezińskiego. W narożnikach ogrodzenia ustawiono osiem dwuramiennych latarń[2].
Monument został odsłonięty 24 grudnia 1898, w setną rocznicę urodzin poety. Krótka uroczystość, w obecności policji i wojska, została ograniczona przez władze rosyjskie do poświęcenia pomnika. Zakazano przemówień, a w wydarzeniu mogły wziąć udział jedynie osoby zaproszone z biletami wstępu. Cenzura otrzymała polecenie ograniczenie do minimum wzmianek o uroczystości, a z wystaw obrazów i okien księgarń usunięto portrety Mickiewicza[3].
W październiku 1916 nazwę skwer Konstantynowski, na którym znajdował się monument, zmieniono na skwer Adama Mickiewicza

Bill Johnston on Polish Literature
An award-winning translator Bill Johnston, shares his thoughts on Polish literature, Adam Mickiewicz and on his latest translation of Mickiewicz’s ‘Pan Tadeusz’.
‘A universal story’, Johnston says, ‘Pan Tadeusz is a love story in verse’ and to which anyone can easily relate to as it is ‘a story about childhood, memory and remembrance.'

Poland: Red Army monument dismantled ahead of relocation to museum
Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe
Workers began dismantling a monument dedicated to soldiers of the Soviet Union's Red Army, in Warsaw's Skaryszewski Park on Wednesday, ahead of its relocation to the Cold War Museum in Podborsko near Szczecin.
The process of dismantling the structure is expected to take two days, according to reports. Its removal is linked to a Polish law banning the propagation of 'communism or any other totalitarian regime' through the naming of buildings and other public facilities.

Adam Mickiewicz – legendarny piewca romantyzmu. Urodził się w grudniu 1798 roku w gubernii litewskiej, która obecnie jest terenem Białorusi. Ze względu na patriotyczny duch utworów, Polacy od dawna uważają go za swojego rodaka. Chociaż Adam Mickiewicz żadnego razu nie był we Lwowie, na jednym z najbardziej znanych placów miasta pozostał ustalony pomnik „Króla Ducha” jako dar z okazji 100-letniego jubileuszu jego urodzin.
Chopin Statue, Warsaw, planned destroyed by Germany, restored by Polish People's Republic 1958
During the occupation of May 31, 1940, at the behest of governor Hans Frank , Chopin's monument was blown up by the Germans and cut into smaller pieces by burners.
According to local legend, the next day a handwritten sign was found at the site which read: I don’t know who destroyed me, but I know why: so that I won’t play the funeral march for your leader.
The scrap metal obtained in this way was used as a raw material for industrial production. The Germans also tried to destroy all copies of the monument kept in Polish museums. One of the employees of the Wielkopolska Museum in Poznan managed to hide a copy of the monument's head in the basement. The Germans, however, destroyed all the plaster replicas and a wooden copy of the sculpture on a scale of 1: 2, which was handed over to the Poznań museum by the author himself.
Chopin's monument was the first (according to other sources, the second, after the monument of Ignacy Mościcki ) a monument destroyed by the Germans in occupied Warsaw . Apart from the negative attitude towards the composer's work, other probable reasons for the destruction of the monument were its location in the German quarter, the location near Belweder (the official residence of Hans Frank during his visits to Warsaw ) and the action of collecting scrap metal for the needs of the armaments industry at that time. Third Reich . According to information obtained by the Polish employees of the Municipal Board from the German authorities, the decision to destroy was to be influenced by the alleged ugliness of the monument.
As a result of the activities of the Germans, the reconstruction of Wacław Szymanowski's work after the war posed many difficulties. Searches were made for replicas and preserved copies of the monument that could serve as a model for its reproduction. In 1946, Chopin's head was found in the State Refining and Processing Plant in Wrocław. It turned out, however, that it was not the head from the monument in Łazienki, but one of the test casts on a much smaller scale. The original cast was completely melted down .
A complete copy of the whole monument was found only during the clearing of the destroyed Szymanowski's house in Mokotów . Based on this copy, an attempt was made to make a faithful replica of the original. In 1946, a group of sculptors under the direction of Władysław Wasiewicz made a model of the monument's cast using the author's model (scale 1:10), wooden sculpture of the composer's head by Władysław Szymanowski, photogrammetry made by Leon Suzin and pre-war photographs [10] . The monument was cast in a cooperative Bronze Decorative (formerly the Łopieńscy Brothers ).
The reconstructed monument was unveiled again on May 11, 1958.
On the plinth there is an inscription with the content The statue of Fryderyk Chopin, destroyed and seized by the Germans on May 31, 1940, will be rebuilt by the Nation. 17-X-1946. Another inscription with the date of unveiling informs that the monument was rebuilt from the contributions of the Social Fund for Reconstruction of the Capital . Engravings from Konrad Wallenrod Adam Mickiewicz were also engraved :
The flame will figure out the painted story,
Swords of the sword are devastated by thieves,
The song escapes ...
The system of lawns and alleys around the monument was designed by Longin Majdecki. Geometric rebates are planted with pink bushes. Around the monument, there are mostly red oaks , as well as maples and snow-white shrubs. The entire garden setting with amphitheater-planted trees was supposed to resemble a concert hall .
From 1959 from May to September, each Sunday at the monument, two concerts of Chopin's music are held, organized by the Towarzystwo im. Fryderyk Chopin and Stołeczna Estrada. The shape of the piano and piano canopy, which is set up next to the piano, refers to the shape of the concert shell of the Sydney Opera .
Monument is the only example of Art Nouveau in monumental architecture in Warsaw
The idea to commemorate Fryderyk Chopin appeared among the members of the Warsaw Musical Society in 1876, but in contemporary political conditions it could not be realized . The situation changed in 1901, when the Polish opera singer Adelaide Bolska received the oral consent of Tsar Nicholas II for the erection of the monument, and the general Governor of Warsaw gave permission to establish on January 1, 1902 the Committee for the Construction of the Chopin Monument in Warsaw.
The results of the competition provoked public discussion and criticized part of the press. The work selected in the competition also had to be approved by the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg , which ruled that (...) In May 1914 a contract was signed for the monument with the French company Ancciennes Fonderies Thiebaut Fréres belonging to Renè Fulda. The monument was unveiled on November 14, 1926
Tour of Warsaw's Old Town
Met some wonderful locals up and down Krakowskie Przedmiescie Street who helped me ID some of the places. Also, as you can see, I don't have the willpower to stay away from Wedel's chocolate factory, lol. The State Miasto refers to Warsaw's reconstructed Old Town, the heart of which is the Old Market Square with Sigismund's column and the Royal Palace. The poet statue refers to Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz (which I mispronounce as Misckiewicz). The equestrian statue by the presidential palace was mistakenly identified for me as that of Tadeusz Kosciuszko, a Polish general who helped George Washington win the US revolutionary war. But two young ladies overheard my narration and corrected me on the spot. It's the statue of Prince Jozef Poniatowski, a military general who had many victories in the late 18th century and helped Napoleon's invasion of Russia.
Campaigners hope to restore destroyed Stalin monument
(19 Oct 2018) LEADIN
A full size monument to Stalin might soon appear in a small town in the middle of Russia.
Local activists are determined to restore it using fragments of the original found in a local pond.
STORYLINE
The watery resting place of Joseph Stalin's shattered statue, in the Russian town of Kusa.
But if one resident has his way, Kusa might once more have the monument to the former Soviet leader standing tall in public like it used to do 70 years ago.
Remains of the statue were found back in August as repair works to a local dam caused the water levels in the city's pond to shrink by three meters.
As a result, three fragments of the statue were found. It's thought they might have been in the water for some 50 years.
The statue's made of concrete, with some metal inside. It was originally painted white on the outside.
Stanislav Stafeev, from Essence of Time, is keen to restore the statue to its former glory. The Essence of Time movement was founded in 2011. Its ideology is a mixture of Russian patriotism and communism.
The only missing part of the statue is Stalin's arm, but Stafeev believes it won't be a problem to restore it, as the rest of the parts are in good shape.
However, he's had to keep the statue under lock and key, worried that the local authorities might claim it.
When all three parts were transferred to a private territory, local authorities began to claim them. In order to get them up, they invited the police department, invited the local newspaper Life of the Region, started putting pressure on me through this newspaper, invited up deputies of the Regional Assembly, who began to express the opinion that I must pass these fragments to the city, that is, the confrontation began, he says.
The local authorities believe the Stalin statue belongs to the state, as Viktor Penyagin, Head of Kusa municipal region explains: The citizen Stafeev took the initiative, I believe that he did it illegally, since everything that stood on the territory of the region, on the territory of the state, and there is a fact that it was put up by the state and belonged to the state before, although there are no documents on this, then later it should be used by the state too.
The statue is typical of the kind that that once stood in almost every Soviet city, during Stalin's reign of terror from 1924 until his death in 1953.
In 1956 Nikita Khruschev denounced the personality cult of Stalin, which led to the mass destruction of such statues.
Rostovtseva explains that most likely the Kusa monument was also destroyed under the cover of the night: In the museum funds there are no documents confirming the dismantling, but presumably in the year between 1956 and 1958, when the monument was located at the shore in the city park, during night time the monument was dismantled and thrown into the city pond, into the ice hole.
The local authorities say they are now happy for the monument to be restored and possibly returned to the city park, where it would have originally stood.
It's a move that some locals aren't happy about.
Yevgeny Zubov, says I am telling you straight away that my view is very negative about it, let it lie about there, and don't you even pull it out (of the pond).
While Lina Mityusheva, disagrees: It's history, and it is not a bad history. Some say, well, older generation say that there was discipline, young generation, of course, think completely differently about it now. I think it's worth it, I am for the restoration.
