The Monument to Friedrich Engels (Russian: Памятник Фридриху Энгельсу) was installed in 1976 in Moscow near the metro station "Kropotkinskaya".

At the meeting, the director of the Institute of Marxism-Leninism of the Central Committee of the CPSU, Academician A. G. Egorov, Hero of Socialist Labor metrostroevets P. A. Novozhilov and a student of Moscow State University T. Yu.

The monument stands in the center of the round in terms of a platform paved with stone slabs and framed by a low granite fence, supplemented by semicircular benches.
