== Other galleries within the Tretyakov organisation == The Tretyakov management structure looks after multiple other sites, the most important of these being a second major gallery in Moscow and two remote satellite galleries. === Gallery of modern art === In 1985, the Tretyakov Gallery was administratively merged with a gallery of contemporary art, housed in the [[Central House of Artists, Moscow|Central House of the Artists]] a large [[modernist]] building along the [[Garden Ring]], immediately south of the [[Krymsky Bridge]]. The grounds of this branch of the museum contain a collection of [[Socialist Realism]] sculpture, including such highlights as [[Yevgeny Vuchetich]]'s iconic statue ''[[Monument to Felix Dzerzhinsky, Moscow|Iron Felix]]'' (which was removed from [[Lubyanka Square]] in 1991), the ''Swords Into Plowshares'' sculpture representing a nude worker forging a plough out of a sword, and the ''Young Russia'' monument. Nearby is [[Zurab Tsereteli]]'s [[Peter the Great Statue|86-metre-tall statue]] of [[Peter the Great]], one of the tallest outdoor statues in the world. Near the gallery of modern art there is a sculpture garden called "[[the graveyard of fallen monuments]]" that displays statues of former [[Soviet Union]] that were relocated. There are plans to demolish the gallery constructed in the late Soviet modernism style, though public opinion is strongly against this.<ref>[http://english.ruvr.ru/2009/11/05/2180229.html House of Artists not only for Artists], ''Moscow Time'', November 5, 2009</ref><ref>"[https://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/15/world/europe/15iht-moscow.html Moscow Cultural Landmark Is Seen as Threatened]".
