Comintern is short for Communist International, an organization established to unite, coordinate, and lead communist activities worldwide. The international mother of all communist parties, if you will.
Conceived as as towering symbol of modernity, Vladimir Tatlin's constructivist Monument to the Third International was designed in the wake of the Bolshevik Revolution to embody the aspirations of the fledgling Soviet state. Indeed, it was seen as a challenge to the Franceâs Eiffel Tower. Only problem: It was never built. Commissioned by the Soviet Peopleâs Commissariat for Enlightenment in 1919 as the design for the headquarters for, and monument to the Comintern, or Third International, the tower's main feature was a twin helix spiraling some 1,300 feet, around which visitors would be transported with the aid of various mechanical devices.
