Stele - Kolkhoz "Vladimir Ilyich" - Rașcov

Unknown1960s-1980s

Description

A concrete stele (one of two steles) marks the former collective farm named for Lenin, built from the same vertical-rib-and-hexagon vocabulary used elsewhere in the Kamenka district. A wheat-and-hammer medallion tops the shaft. Three hexagonal panels at the base carry the name Vladimir Ilyich, and harvest and farm-machinery motifs: two tractors, the left with carrots and the right with wheat. The difference in weathering on the stele between the top circle and the top hexagonal points to missing elements, likely another plaque or panel. Given the name and based on the other nearby stele, it likely featured a bust of Lenin, as the shape seems similar.
