The latter was erected in 1947 in Budapest to commemorate the Soviet liberation of Hungary during WWII. Above the figures the emblem of the Association, two intersecting circles, one is red with yellow sickle and hammer, the other coloured according the Hungarian tricolor, a torch with flame inserted into the intersection.
