The Memorial to the Victims of Communism in Prague is a series of statues honoring those who suffered under the communist regime in Czechoslovakia from 1948 to 1989. Unveiled in 2002, the memorial features six bronze statues depicting individuals in various stages of decay, symbolizing the treatment of political prisoners. A plaque nearby lists the staggering numbers of those affected by state repression during that era. Despite some controversy and vandalism, the memorial stands as a poignant reminder of the dark chapter in Czech history.
