"Grūtas Park (unofficially known as Stalin's World; Lithuanian: Grūto parkas) is a sculpture garden of Soviet-era statues and an exposition of other Soviet ideological relics from the times of the Lithuanian SSR. Founded in 2001 by entrepreneur Viliumas Malinauskas, the park is located near Druskininkai, about 130 kilometres (81 mi) southwest of Vilnius, Lithuania."

I attended the 1995 unveiling in Lithuania, and took several photos in the sculptors studio.

The police “Guardian Angel” (Angelas Sargas) medal, first class. It is awarded by the Lithuanian Police for exemplary service. The medal has an unusual and distinctive design: the Lithuanian national double cross symbol mounted above a pair of angel wings. The medal ribbon is backed by a metal plate with a screw mount (similar to some Russian medals). Laser-printed on reverse with the same unique issue number shown on the recipient's award certificate.
Just over 1,000 first class medals have been awarded since the medal was instituted in 2005. It is the highest-level Lithuanian police medal that can be given to foreign officers. The first awards to foreign recipients were in 2022, to British detectives who located a Lithuanian murderer who had been on the run for 20 years.
