Soviet Statue Unveiled in North Garden Area at U.N. Headquarters
Caption Description
At a brief ceremony today, the statue “Let Us Beat Swords into Ploughshares”, a gift of the Soviet Union to the United Nations, was unveiled in the north garden area at U.N. Headquarters. The bronze statue is created by the well-known Soviet sculptor Evgeniy Vuchetich. It is approximately nine feet tall (exclusive of the base) and represents the figure of a man holding a hammer in one hand and, in the other, a sword which he is making into a ploughshare, symbolizing man’s desire to put an end to war and convert the means of destruction into creative tools for the benefit of mankind.
Seen here addressing the gathering at the ceremony is U.N. Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld. Looking on, at right, is Ambassador Arkady A. Sobolev (dark suit, arms folded), Permanent Representative of the USSR to the United Nations.
