This is at the base of the monument shown below on this site of a rocket. I could not accuse the artist who designed this monument of being too abstract, ambiguous and vague - I wonder where people are pointing to? Let us leave the people wondering what we are trying to accomplish and what will happen next? No, progress, for sure, is just to the right and actually if you follow the trajectory of the hand of Lenin - it is generally up to the right to where the rocket sits a far distance up on top of the monument. No mixed signals here.
People of all different professions are are also represented on the monument and pointing behind Lenin in the same general direction. I have to say this is very refreshing after seeing so much in the USA that would have you believe that only Great Men lead the country and make things happen - someone has to make the paper, build the roads, fight the wars (unfortunately- and time and time again). Seldom in the West do I see public monuments which even suggest a contribution of the masses in society - it is almost as if society exists, but without people, and actually just thankfully has a few Great people who are always doing all the work, while the other 95% would not know what to do without them. Not so here, the base of the rocket and race for space is supported, at the bottom, by the work and direction of everyday people. Maybe the artist was being direct, and by being so, provocative as well. Sometimes being so simple and direct is more meaningful than being complex and abstract.
