Certainly, monuments of Lenin and Karl Marx can be admired in Memento Park, an outdoor park in the periphery of Budapest, where 42 monuments from socialist period have been collected and are presented to the public. Most impressing of all are the iron boots (replica) of the former Stalin statue, which was moved down during Hungarian Uprising, in October 1956. Only the boots of Stalin remained on the base.
