ABSTRACT

This article explores the issues surrounding the removal of Soviet-era sculptures on the Green Bridge in Vilnius, Lithuania. We present the historical circumstances of both the Green Bridge and its sculptures, examine the decision to reverse their destruction, compare the case with similar cases in the Baltic states, and consider whether the Soviet heritage should and could be protected from the politically motivated destruction of art. We also critically examine the opinions, pro et contra, as well as the political circumstances surrounding the removal of the sculptures. Along with other scholars, the authors discuss the Soviet heritage and post-Soviet memory.
