Should this not be titled "A Worker and a Kolkhoz Woman"?— Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • ( yo?); 16:36, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Not to confuse anything, but this relatively recent (1992), English-language book I have on Stalinist architecture translates it as The Worker and the Collective Farm Girl. Recury 21:41, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
This is just a rhetorical question, but if metric units are going to be used, isn't the thing meant to be in mm rather than cm? I know, from an understandability pov mm will not work, and cm is used for ease of understanding (analogue to inches), and that is why its there. But if SI units were to be strictly followed, would mm (or m) be the way to go?

The meter is the official SI unit, but any prefix is allowed as well. See SI#Units. Both cm and mm (or km, or dm) can be used, and the main reason for choosing one over the other should be that the resulting numbers are comprehensible for everybody. Er rab ee 09:39, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Reading this article, I was surprised to read this sentence: "The symbolism of the two figures striding from East to West, as determined by the layout of the pavilion, was also not lost by spectators."
I was surprised by this because from the Wikipedia photo of this exposition's juxtaposition of these pavilions there's no such East/West orientation. If anything, the figures atop the Soviet pavilion are striding from Southwest to Northeast. Even if the photo were reversed there would still not be a clear political inference. As one looks at the Seine from the Palais de Chaillot today, the positions of the German and USSR pavilions correspond to the lines of the present Avenue de New York, which runs at roughly a 50° angle from East/West.
The reference cited for that comment is "Totalitarian Art, Golomstock, 1990 ISBN 0002721694." If anyone can clarify this or establish accuracy in what was meant, that would help this article.
(My apologies, if I'm not raising this point right -- I've never posted to Wikipedia before and am definitely unsure of protocol and access. =mw= mwalker@jonesandjones.com)
I just stumbled upon a very lengthy article about this sculpture in Russian, [1] that would make a fine source to add. dvd rw 03:04, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Third Reich was USSR's close cooperant until 1941. Germans bought russian natural resources and trained their army (especially airforce) in Russian teritory from early 30s. These two pavilions in Paris should be read as symbol of two regimes cooperation. 94.42.37.245 ( talk) 08:33, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
