The Szabadság Szobor or
Liberty Statue (sometimes Freedom Statue) in Budapest, Hungary, was
first erected in 1947 in remembrance of the Soviet liberation of
Hungary from Nazi forces during World War II. Its location upon
Gellért Hill makes it a prominent feature of Budapest's cityscape.
The 14 meter tall bronze statue stands atop a 26 meter pedestal and
holds a palm leaf. Several smaller statues are also present around
the base, but the original monument consisted of several more
originally that have since been removed from the site and relocated
to Statue Park. The monument was originally designed by Zsigmond
Kisfaludi Stróbl.
At the time of the monument's construction, the repulsion of Nazi
forces by the Soviets was considered a liberation -- leading to the
original inscription upon the memorial, which can be translated to
read "Erected by the grateful Hungarian Nation in memory of the
liberating Russian heroes."
Over the following years, public sentiment toward the Soviets
decreased to the point of revolution, which was attempted in 1956
and subsequently damaged some portions of the monument. After the
1989 transition from Communist rule to a more democratic government,
the inscription was modified to read (translated from Hungarian), "To
the memory of all of those who sacrificed their lives for the
independence, freedom, and success of Hungary."
