Soviet Union Presents "Good Defeats Evil" Sculpture
A view of the sculpture titled "Good Defeats Evil" presented by the Soviet Union in 1990, on the occasion of the 45th anniversary of the United Nations. Created by Zurab Tsereteli, a native of Georgia, the sculpture depicts St. George slaying the dragon. The dragon is created from fragments of Soviet SS-20 missiles and United States Pershing nuclear missiles that were destroyed under the terms of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty of 1987. It is a vivid symbol of disarmament. [1993]
