December 20, 1958, the Day of the employee of the state security organs, in Moscow on Dzerzhinsky Square took place the opening of the monument to the founder of the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission (Cheka). Weight without pedestal sculpture of 11 tonnes. Made in metal, Iron Felix stood on its own, as it seemed to be an eternal watch in front of the KGB of the USSR. But he had to hand over the post in 33 years, when, after the victory over the Emergency Committee August 22, 1991 Dzerzhinsky monument was dismantled on the orders of the Moscow City Council. In 1994, a monument was erected in the Park Muzeon arts. The inscriptions on the monument made during protests and demonstrations of 1991, and at first glance seem vandalism traces are left intentionally, because they are in the same historical material, as well as the sculpture itself FE Dzerzhinsky.
