ArtistKarel Pokorný
Year1950

"Brotherhood" (Czech: Sbratření) is a sculpture by the Czech artist Karel Pokorný, which became the basis for monuments of the Prague Offensive during World War II. There are such monuments in Prague, Česká Třebová, Sankt Petersburg and the Crimea. The sculpture depicts the meeting of a Soviet soldier and a Czech militia in May 1945. Art critics evaluate "Brotherhood" as one of the best works of socialist realism.[citation needed] This sculpture gained great popularity and became a symbol of friendship between the peoples of Russia and Czechoslovakia.[citation needed] Her image was placed on stamps, coins, banknotes, etc.

After the dismantling of the monuments to tankers in 1991 and to Marshal Konev in 2020, "Brotherhood" actually became the main memorial in memory of World War II in Prague.[1]

Already in the first years after the creation of the sculpture, some viewers saw homoerotic overtones in it.[2][3][4][5]
