Moscow's "monument" to Peter the Great makes it to Foreign Policy's list of World's Ugliest Statues. (Also previously ranked 10th ugliest building or statue by the editors and readers of VirtualTourist.com.)
Word on the street is that artist Zurab Tsereteli's creation was originally intended as a representation of Christopher Columbus, but that no U.S. city would take it. Luckily, he's friend with the quirky mayor of Moscow, Luzhkov. Wikipedia here.
