DescriptionFresco - Bratislava Hlavná Stanica - František Gajdoš.jpg
English: A fresco in the central hall of the main Bratislava railway station, painted in 1960 by František Gajdoš.
On the left, there's three capitalists fleeing in their business suits, one of them dropping a gun. On the ground, watching them go, there's a worker, with his chains broken.
Next group comprises a steel mill worker, an intellectual, and a man waving a red flag. Behind, there's a lady releasing doves, to symbolise peace.
Next, teachers. One of them is throwing shade at the capitalists. The group here is explicitly internationalist and non-racist, with Africans and Asians participating in their national dress..
To the right of these are a group of women and children in traditional costumes. I believe the ladies in the white headdresses are wearing traditional Slovak costumes.
Next up, Sputnik, launched less than 3 years before the fresco was painted, a rocket, and a mixed-gender group of engineers, including a student receiving instruction in geometry.
The last group I'm unsure about - they're possibly scientists, but there's also a lady kneeling with a bunch of flowers and an open book. I'm guessing that she might be a Future Person, memorialising the efforts sacrifices etc of her socialist predecessors.
