The Monument to the 1919 Slovak Soviet Republic, unveiled in 1975, located on Peace Square in the city of Prešov, Slovakia. The authors are academic sculptor L. Korkoš and engineer architect O. Cerný. Bronze figures of men and women are set against a triangular stone backdrop. A prominent woman in flowing attire and covered headscarf raises a flag, symbolizing defiance or celebration. The ensemble stands on a paved platform surrounded by grass and trees. Located in a public square, the artwork shows historical and cultural significance, commemorating a political era. The materials used appear weathered, reflecting time and the nonreflective surface adds a solemn ambiance to the setting.
