The monument in 1961
The Monument to Soviet Tank Crews (Czech: Památník sovětských tankistů) was a World War II memorial located in Prague.[1] It is also known as the Pink Tank because it was controversially painted pink in 1991, first by installation artist David Černý and a second time by members of parliament in protest at his arrest.
The original location of the monument was 50°4′43.8″N14°24′16.6″E / 50.078833°N 14.404611°E / 50.078833; 14.404611.
