What country has an actual monument dedicated to welding?
Answer Russia
As of the time of writing, Russia was the only country that had an actual monument featuring a welder. In 2012, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the country would be running a contest to crown the best welder, best electrician, best stone mason, best miner and best heavy vehicle driver. These kinds of contests were common in the Soviet era and are meant to instill a sense of pride in the working class.
