bronze relief plaque mounted on a tiled wall in what appears to be a subway station in Moscow, Russia. The plaque features a central oval design with a border of small circles. Inside the oval, there is a depiction of a bird feeder, a book, and what looks like scales of justice. Below this imagery, text is inscribed in Russian. The text reads: "ХОЧУ ВОСПЕТЬ СВОБОДУ МИРУ, НА ТРОНАХ ПОРАЗИТЬ ПОРОК." (I want to sing freedom to the world, to strike vice on its thrones.) At the bottom of the plaque, a lyre is depicted, symbolizing music or poetry, and laurel leaves, symbolizing victory or honor. The walls of the station are covered in light-colored marble tiles arranged in a grid pattern. A dark grey granite band runs along the lower portion of the wall, above a darker, possibly metal, base. The lighting suggests an indoor environment, typical of a metro station.
