Robespierre was later made into a monument at the Alexander Garden following the [[October Revolution]] by the [[Bolshevik]]s, who were inspired by the French Revolution. However, the monument was poorly made (being made of concrete and pipes instead of marble or bronze due to the events of the Russian Civil War and lacking resources for either) and eventually collapsed on November 3, 1918, three days after being unveiled. He was part of a line of statues, the Monumental Propaganda, commemorating various other French Revolutionary figures such as [[Georges Danton]], [[François-Noël Babeuf]] and [[Jean-Paul Marat]], although the only one besides Robespierre himself to be completed was the one featuring Danton. Another Robespierre monument was raised in Petrograd.

*''"Terror is only justice: prompt, severe and inflexible; it is then an emanation of virtue; it is less a distinct principle than a natural consequence of the general principle of democracy, applied to the most pressing wants of the country."''
