Tomas Garrigue Masaryk (*07.brezna 1850 Hodonin - †14.zari 1937 Lany) byl rakousko-uhersky a ceskoslovensky statnik, sociolog a filozof ktery se, jako nejhorlivejsi obhajce samostatnosti Ceskoslovenska behem druhe svetove valky, stal zakladatelem a prvnim prezidentem Ceskoslovenska. Puvodne si pral reformovat habsburskou monarchii do demokratickeho federalniho statu, ale behem prvni svetove valky zacal uprednostnovat zruseni monarchie a za pomoci spojeneckych sil, ziskal nezavislost pro svuj narod. Masaryk povazoval demokracii jak za politicky system, tak i humanisticky svetovy nazor. Za jeho zasluhy o stat mu parlament udelil titul „Prezident Osvoboditel“.

Autorem sochy je akademický sochar Bretislav Benda, který v Praze 6 žil i tvoril. Vedení mestské cásti jeho dílo vybralo také proto, že byl Masarykovým soucasníkem. Socha prvního prezidenta, kterou dnes mohou lidé videt na Bachmacském námestí, vznikla už v minulém století. Nyní se z ní proto udelala pouze forma a do té bylo dílo nove odlito z bronzu.

Tomas Garrigue Masaryk (*7 March 1850 Hodonin – †14 September 1937 Lany) was an Austro-Hungarian and Czechoslovak statesman, sociologist and philosopher, who as the keenest advocate of Czechoslovak independence during World War I became the first President and founder of Czechoslovakia and thus referred to as "President liberator". He originally wished to reform the Habsburg monarchy into a democratic federal state, but during the First World War he began to favour the abolition of the monarchy and, with the help of The Allied Powers, won independence for his nation. Masaryk regarded democracy as both a political system and a humanistic world outlook.

The sculpture is from academic sculptor Bretislav Benda, who lived and worked in Prague 6. The city district management also chose his work because he was a contemporary of Masaryk. The statue of the first president, which today can be seen on Bachmacské Square, was built in the last century. Now, therefore, it only made a form and the work was newly cast from bronze.
