Instead of showing you a simple picture of my current Modern Army, I wanted to make it a big more elaborate. So my Army consists of 1 Cheiftain MBT, 1 FV432, 2 Land Rover Snatch, 1 Land Rover Wolf, 1 MWMIK Jackal, 1 FV102 Striker, 2 General Utility Trucks, 1 Rapier Missile Launcher, and 1 V-150 Commando. Most vehicles are form Brickmania.

I plan to increase it substantially to include a couple more Chieftains and to expand on the CVRT collection by a lot! And I also might changed the trucks in the future. (Which are based on the Armorbrick GAZ-66 truck!
Let me know what you guys think!
Federal Chancellery (1, Ballhaus square 2, identical to Löwel street 2-4). Instead of an Imperial Meierhof (which stretched in the area of today's Ballhaus square and Löwel street, a Pfisterei (bakery) is mentioned already 1347) was 1717-1719 on order of Charles VI built by the imperial court architect Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt (architect Christian Alexander Oedtl) a representative building for the Secret/Effective (Austrian) Court Chancery at that time (bordering the Court Hospital in the north). The foundation stone was laid on 13 September 1717.
Court Chancery
The Court Chancery had until then been lodged in a tract of the Hofburg. It was the counterweight to the Imperial Chancery, led by the Imperial Chancellor (see Imperial Chancellery of the Hofburg). The foreign policy department, established from 1705 under the auspices of the Hofkanzlei under Sinzendorf (Philipp Ludwig Wenzel Sinzendorf (26 December 1671 – 8 February 1742) was an Austrian diplomat and statesman who for nearly four decades served as Court Chancellor responsible of foreign affairs of the Habsburg Monarchy), received the name Staatskanzlei in 1719.
When Maria Theresia united the former Austrian and Bohemian Court Chancellery in 1749 into a joint administrative authority responsible for both groups of countries, the new "Directorate" moved into the former building of the Bohemian Court Chancery (Jewish Square - Wippling street), this designation is already listed around 1770 on the Huber plan), the house on Ballhaus square was assigned to the Staatskanzlei (later German Federal Foreign Office) for the sole use. State Chancellor was 1753-1792 Wenzel Anton Count Kaunitz (starting from 1764 Reichsfürst/Princes of the Holy Roman Empire von Kaunitz-Rietberg), especially after the death Franz' I (1765) this one had a great influence on the government business (especially with regard to his opposition to Prussia and his alliance with France).

Conversion by Pacassi
From 1764 to 1767, the building on order of Maria Theresa was modified and extended by her Court Architect Nikolaus Pacassi. The main facade (Ballhausplatz) (however, apart from the altered roof and the missing attic statues) still corresponds to the construction of Hildebrandt. The extension served mainly the accommodation of the office and the establishment of an archive in which Maria Theresia, in particular, housed the Austrian and Lorraine state and house documents as well as the Hungarian and Bohemian state certificates (house, court and state archive). At that time the house of Hiernonymus Reichsfreiherr/Imperial Baron of Scalvinioni (at that time the supervisor of the court buildings) opposite the front, placed in front of Amalienburg, erected and expanded yet 1700, was also abolished, thus giving us the present floor plan of the Ballhausplatz.
Ballhausplatz 2, former Secret Court and State Chancery, c. 1850
The "Ballhausplatz" in the era of Metternich experienced great events (1810-1848 State Chancellor): the Congress of Vienna (1814-1815), the Police State before 1848, but also the tumults of the revolution of 1848 and the passing of Metternich. During his term of office happened the reconstruction of the wing at Löwel street (1821) and renovations (1826) The interior of the building is still predominantly from the 19th century as far as architecture is concerned. 1881-1882, the Löwel street wing was extended to Metastasio alley, 1900-1903 (after the demolition of the Court Hospital and the Minorite Monastery) it came to the construction of the House, Court and State Archives (plans of Otto Hofer), adjoining the Federal Chancellery.
Use by the Republic
From November 1918, the building was the seat of the government formed by the "Provisional National Assembly for German-Austria", led by Chancellor Dr. Karl Renner.

War Damages on the Federal Chancellery (1946)
From 1920, the ministerial council meetings were held here. In 1922, the Federal Chancellery also moved from its original seat in Palais Modena (now the Ministry of the Interior), so that both the Federal President (Wing in Löwel street) and the Federal Chancellor and the Foreign Minister in this building officiated. On July 25, 1934 during the National Socialist coup attempt, Federal Chancellor Dr. Engelbert Dollfuss in the Chancellor's Office was murdered.
After the "Anschluss" a kind of liquidation office of the "Austrian provincial government" was quartered in the house, while Reichskommissar/Reich Commissioner Gauleiter/district leader Josef Bürckel resided in the parliament. It was not until his successor, the former Reichsjugendführer (highest paramilitary rank of the Hitler Youth), and now the Gauleiter and Reichsstatthalter/Reich Lieutenant Baldur von Schirach, as the Federal Chancellery was chosen as his office. On September 10, 1944, the building was damaged by bombs (destruction of the former Chancellor's room).
After the Second World War, the Federal Chancellery was once again the seat of the Federal Chancellor and the Federal Government, which also meet here for the ministerial council meetings (the Federal President is in the Leopoldine tract of the Hofburg). The Federal Chancellery has been restored and partially reconstructed (such as the stucco ceiling of the stairwell). The reconstruction was completed on 20 February 1950.
The most important rooms on the main floor: the large reception hall ("Congress Hall") is located above the main entrance, on the left (corner Löwel street), the former small dining room (today the Gray Corner Hall). Afterwards follow the great dining room (today Council of Ministers hall) in Löwel street, the library, the study of Metternich and the audience room. On your right (corner towards Minorite square) lies the Blue Conference Hall (today Marble Corner Room), alongside follow the Green Reception Hall (later Yellow Salon and Study of the Chancellor), the Column Hall (today the working room of the Chancellor) and (again on the corner) the meeting room (today study of the Head of Cabinet, in the direction of the House, Court and State Archives still follow the sleeping room of Metternich (today reception hall).
Bundeskanzleramt (1, Ballhausplatz 2, identisch mit Löwelstraße 2-4). Anstelle eines kaiserlichen Meierhofs (der sich Im Bereich des heutigen Ballhausplatzes und der Löwelstraße erstreckte; eine Pfisterei (Bäckerei) wird schon 1347 erwähnt) wurde 1717-1719 über Auftrag Karls VI. vom kaiserlichen Hofarchitekten Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt (Baumeister Christian Alexander Oedtl) ein repräsentatives Gebäude für die damalige Geheime (Österreichische) Hofkanzlei erbaut (das im Norden an das Hofspital angrenzte). Die Grundsteinlegung erfolgte am 13. September 1717.
Hofkanzlei
Die Hofkanzlei war bis dahin in einem Trakt der Hofburg untergebracht gewesen. Sie war das Gegengewicht zu der vom Reichsvizekanzler geleiteten Reichshofkanzlei (siehe Reichskanzleitrakt der Hofburg). Sie im Rahmen der Hofkanzlei unter Sinzendorf ab 1705 aufgebaute Außenpolitische Abteilung erhielt 1719 den Namen Staatskanzlei.
Als Maria Theresia 1749 die bisherige Österreichische und Böhmische Hofkanzlei zu einer gemeinsamen, für beide Ländergruppen zuständigen Verwaltungsbehörde vereinigte, zog das neue „Direktorium" in das ehemalige Gebäude der Böhmischen Hofkanzlei (Judenplatz - Wipplingerstraße) ein, und das Haus am Ballhausplatz (diese Bezeichnung ist bereits auf dem Huber-Plan um 1770 eingetragen) wurde der Staatskanzlei (später Auswärtiges Amt) zur alleinigen Benützung zugewiesen. Staatskanzler war 1753-1792 Wenzel Anton Graf Kaunitz (ab 1764 Reichsfürst von Kaunitz-Rietberg), der besonders nach dem Tod Franz' I. (1765) auf die Regierungsgeschäfte großen Einfluss nahm (vor allem hinsichtlich seiner Gegnerschaft zu Preußen und seiner Allianz mit Frankreich).

Umbau durch Pacassi
1764-1767 wurde das Gebäude im Auftrag Maria Theresias von ihrem Hofarchitekten Nikolaus Pacassi verändert und bedeutend erweitert. Die Hauptfassade (Ballhausplatz) entspricht jedoch (abgesehen vom veränderten Dach und den fehlenden Attikafiguren) noch heute dem Bau Hildebrandts. Die Erweiterung diente vor allem der Unterbringung der Kanzlei und der Einrichtung eines Archivs, in welchem Maria Theresia insbesondere die österreichischen und lothringischen Staats- und Hausurkunden sowie die ungarischen und böhmischen Staatsurkunden unterbringen ließ (Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv). Damals wurde auch das der Front gegenüberliegende, der Amalienburg vorgelagerte und noch um 1700 aufgestockte beziehungsweise ausgebaute Haus des Hieronymus Reichsfreiherrn von Scalvinioni (damals Oberinspektor der Hofgebäude) abgetragen, sodass sich der uns heute geläufige Grundriss des Ballhausplatzes ergab.
Ballhausplatz 2, ehemalige Geheime Hof- und Staatskanzlei, um 1850
Der „Ballhausplatz" erlebte in der Ära Metternich (1810-1848 Staatskanzler) große Ereignisse: den Wiener Kongress (1814/1815), den vormärzlichen Polizeistaat, aber auch die Tumulte der Revolution 1848 und die Verabschiedung Metternichs. Während seiner Amtszeit kam es zu einem Umbau des Trakts an der Löwelstraße (1821) und zu Renovierungen (1826). Die Ausstattung des Gebäudes im Inneren stammt noch heute überwiegend aus dem 19. Jahrhundert, soweit es sich um die Architektur handelt. 1881/82 wurde der Löwelstraßenflügel des Gebäudes bis zur Metastasiogasse verlängert, 1900-1903 kam es (nach dem Abbruch des Hofspitals und des Minoritenklosters) zum Bau des an das Bundeskanzleramt angrenzenden Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchivs (Pläne von Otto Hofer).
Nutzung durch die Republik
Ab November 1918 war das Gebäude Sitz der von der „Provisorischen Nationalversammlung für Deutsch-Österreich" gebildeten Regierung, die von Staatskanzler Dr. Karl Renner geleitet wurde.

Kriegsschäden am Bundeskanzleramt (1946)
Ab 1920 wurden hier die Ministerratssitzungen abgehalten, 1922 übersiedelte auch das Bundeskanzleramt aus seinem ursprünglichen Amtssitz im Palais Modena (heute Innenministerium) hierher, sodass schließlich in der Ersten Republik im Gebäude sowohl der Bundespräsident (Trakt in der Löwelstraße) als auch der Bundeskanzler und der Außenminister amtierten. Am 25. Juli 1934 wurde während des nationalsozialistischen Putschversuchs Bundeskanzler Dr. Engelbert Dollfuß im Kanzleramt erschossen.
Nach dem „Anschluss" quartierte sich im Haus eine Art von Liquidationsstelle der „österreichischen Landesregierung" ein, während Reichskommissar Gauleiter Josef Bürckel im Parlament residierte. Erst sein Nachfolger, der vorherige Reichsjugendführer und nunmehrige Gauleiter und Reichsstatthalter Baldur von Schirach, wählte das Bundeskanzleramt zu seinem Amtssitz. Am 10. September 1944 wurde das Gebäude durch Bomben beschädigt (Zerstörung des früheren Kanzlerzimmers).
Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde das Bundeskanzleramt wieder Amtssitz des Bundeskanzlers und der Bundesregierung, die hier auch zu den Ministerratssitzungen zusammentritt (der Bundespräsident amtiert im Leopoldinischen Trakt der Hofburg). Das Bundeskanzleramt wurde wiederhergestellt, teilweise (wie etwa die Stuckdecke des Stiegenhauses) auch rekonstruiert. Der Wiederaufbau war am 20. Februar 1950 abgeschlossen.
Die wichtigsten Räumlichkeiten im Hauptgeschoß: Über dem Haupteingang liegt der Große Empfangssaal („Kongreßsaal"), links (Ecke Löwelstraße) der ehemalige Kleine Speisesaal (heute Grauer Ecksalon), dem in der Löwelstraße der Große Speisesaal (heute Ministerratssaal), die Bibliothek, das Arbeitszimmer Metternichs und das Audienzzimmer folgen; rechts (Ecke zum Minoritenplatz) liegt der Blaue Gesellschaftssaal (heute Marmorecksalon), daneben folgen der Grüne Empfangssaal (später Gelber Salon und Arbeitszimmer des Bundeskanzlers), der Säulensaal (heute Arbeitszimmer des Bundeskanzlers) und (wiederum an der Ecke) das Sitzungszimmer (heute Arbeitszimmer des Kabinettschefs); in Richtung Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv folgt noch das Schlafzimmer Metternichs (heute Empfangsraum).
Kapelle
Im Zuge des Pacassischen Umbaus wurde 1767 eine über zwei Geschoße reichende Kapelle errichtet. Als der überkuppelte hohe Raum 1818 durch eine Zwischendecke geteilt wurde (um ein Bibliothekszimmer zu gewinnen), verschoben sich die Proportionen. Das ursprüngliche Altarbild „Heiliger Nepomuk vor Maria" (1741) kam 1821 nach Gerasdorf (dort verschollen).

Our Landing on APril 25th had been a bloody shambles. The Turks weren't about let up, and we hung on to Anzac Cove by our fingernails.
Our commanders had to rapidly improve the defences and organise frightened men to fight. The ounded flooded in, and our medical officers tried desparately to bring some order to the chaos.

BUSAN, SOUTH KOREA - MAY 12: Brandon "BioPanther" Alexander of ORDER appears backstage at the League of Legends - Mid-Season Invitational Groups Stage on May 12, 2022 in Busan, South Korea. (Photo by Colin Young-Wolff/Riot Games)
Been off work this week with a hefty dose of man flu. So i was sitting about in my pants trying to keep a lid on my nose that was running like a cheetah and My dad told me of a cloud of black smoke filling the skies over Cleland.
So i fired on a few threads, as a naked camera man running towards the authorities never gets far, and drove towards it. Turned out there was a big fire in a factory and they had big canisters that potentially could have blown. Thankfully they never, as there were cars aplenty and the factory is right at the arse of a residential area, right close to my house.
It was a bit wild, seen a lady faint and the whole town was out having a "swatch" I managed to get a few shots in before being moved on. I then continued to collect my car where I parked outside some geezers house, as I walked over I seen Him and a lady trying to force their way in to my humble little banger. So I was like, "that's my car" to which this ANGRY ANGRY man unleashed a overwhelming amount of oral weaponry in my face. I was called everything from a C@*T, A@@EHOLE, WANKY WANKER, F'*@KING B*@TARD to the old trusty dick head. I was gearing myself up for a black eye to go with my runny beak but after my sincere apologies the man just went back in to his house to no doubt take his heart medication.
Quite an exciting day in what is normally a very dull village.
Spoke to the Herald and they asked me to send them over, typically for how my life has been going of late I got a failed message delivery notice 2 day's after it happened. That ship has sank, Cheers G mail!
Anyway, Here's a few photo's seen as there's nothing else to do with them now. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt to my knowledge.
Thanks for stepping over folks.

House of the Teutonic Order
The House of the Teutonic Order was as a Viennese commandry of the in 1198 in Acre founded Teutonic Order under Duke Leopold VI in the early years of the 13th Century built. The German Order was next to the Hospitallers and the Templars the third major order of knights of the Middle Ages. Duke Leopold gave him the large area between Stephansplatz, Churhausgasse, Singerstraße and blood alley (Blutgasse). Documentarily proven is the existence of the house from 1222. Here resided the Landkomtur (province commanders) of the Bailiwick of Austria, to which the commandries Vienna, Wiener Neustadt, Graz, Friesach and Groß-Sonntag (Krain) belonged. In the great fire of 1258 all the religious buildings except the church tower burned down. In the Middle Ages the complex of the German monastic house was limited to the area along the Singerstraße and Blutgasse. 1309 exchanged the Order part of the land that was needed for the extension of Stephen's cemetery against a neighboring area. The sprawling building had in its, the Stephansplatz adjacent part a large farm yard, which was surrounded by stables. Since 1526 the Head of the Order bore the title "Grand and German master (Hoch- und Deutschmeister)". The famous Viennese house regiment of the same name by the way in 1696 emerged from those Truppenkontigenten (contigent of troops) which the Order for the Turkish war had provided. After the first Turkish siege of Vienna, numerous residents of the suburbs whose houses had been burned were housed here. From 1667 the already dilapidated buildings were torn down with the exception of the church under the Landkomtur (province commander) Gottfried Freiherr von Lambert and provided by Carlo Canevale with three-storey new buildings. As plasterers Jacob Schlag and Simon Alio were mentioned. 1679/82 increased Canevale and Johann Bernhard Ceresola the complex.
Sala terrena. In the years 1720-1725 the German religious house under the Landkomtur Guidobald Starhemberg by Anton Erhard Martinelli was further extended and baroquised. In 1785 it received under Landkomtur Alois Graf Harrach by placing a fourth storey its present shape. In the 18th Century several fires caused major damages. Especially those of 1735 raged for three days, because the urban fighting personnel the entry was denied by the German Order of Knights. Among the prominent residents of the German religious house, which in the 18th and 19th century first also as a guest house of the Order served and then was largely rented, included Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1781), Johannes Brahms (1863 - 1865) and the comedy writer Cornelius Hermann Paul von Ayrenhoff. At the beginning of the 19th Century on Stephansplatz the German Order Cellar (Deutschordenskeller) was opened. Was in its place in the second half of the 20th Century the Restaurant "Deutsches Haus". Since 1809 the German religious house is the residence of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order. Until then, this one resided in Mergentheim (Baden-Württemberg). From 1864 the Landkomtur Eugen Graf von Haugwitz the church by the cathedral architect from Gran, Josef Lippert, partially had re-gothicised. At that time at the gable above the church windows the already damaged pinnacles and figures were removed. Only the Grand Master coat of arms was left. 1929 the community of the German Teutonic Knights was transformed into a purely religious order. It is one of the very few religious institutions whose top management is not located in Rome. First Grand Master living in Vienna was Archduke Anton Viktor (1804 - 1835).
Church - interior. The House of the Teutonic Order is now a sprawling complex of buildings, grouped around two courtyards. The façade at the Blutgasse is the oldest. Those at the Singerstraße stems from the 17th Century. It represents today the face side of the building. The structuring of the façade by high Baroque inonic giant pilasters followed around 1720. The ground floor is grooved. The two early-Baroque round-arched portals are framed with Tuscan pilasters. The simple façades of the courtyards are held in the style of the 17th Century. On the west side of the pentagonal courtyard on the ground floor walled arched arcades as well as glazed Pawlatschen (access galleries) from the 19th Century on the first floor can be seen. In the courts were various, in 1903 discovered grave plates placed. The ground floor rooms are vaulted, early Baroque lunette barrels and groin vaults prevailing. Among them is the Sala terrene, a with a flat dome vaulted central room which is decorated with illusionistic wall paintings of the late 18th Century. The wall and ceiling frescoes depict mythological scenes and figural ornaments. The hall was once opened to the garden through a portal, but this was later reworked into a window. The tract between Stephansplatz and Blutgasse encloses two two-aisled halls. While the cross vault of the first ones is resting on sturdy pillars is those of the other ones supported by Tuscan columns. In the partially with Rococo and Neoclassical stucco ceilings provided rooms of the first floor are located the library and archives of the Order with documents and books dating back to the 12th Century. Some beautifully crafted wood cabinets were personally manufactured by the Grand and Deutschmeister Archduke Eugen. In the treasure chamber on the second floor are in addition to religious insignias and paintings, inter alia, parts of the Kunstkammer (Art chamber) of the Grand Master Archduke Maximilian III of Austria from the time about 1600 exposed.
Church - Empore. Attention getter and center of the tract at the Singerstraße are the three tall lancet windows of the church of the Teutonic Order. The first chapel already in 1258 fell victim to a town fire. From 1326 it was replaced by Jörg von Schiffering by a new building yet today the core of the Church of the Teutonic Order forming. At that time this one was still but free on three sides. In 1375 it was dedicated to St. Elizabeth. Guidobald Starhemberg 1720/22 the Chapel had remodelled in the Baroque style and flanked at both longitudinal sides by newly built religious houses, by which the three stained glass windows became the central projection of the House of the Teutonic Order. Presumably Anton Erhard Martinelli also was involved in the planning. The quite gothical appearing church facade is a beautiful example of the baroque tinge of the time after the Gothic period of 18th Century, unique in Austria. In the neo-Gothic restoration of 1864/68 the Baroque dome of the narrow and high tower was replaced by a pointed Gothic helmet. After the church was severely damaged in 1945 by bomb hits, followed its restoration 1946/47. Its vaults possess Gothic stucco decorations. In the Baroque reconstruction in the corners eight galleries were built-in, which are accessible from the apartments situated behind. The Dutch polyptych (1520) comes from Mechelen, but was until 1864 in the St. Mary's Church of Danzig. The altarpiece was created in 1667 by Tobias Pock. In the four corners of the room Evangelists Statues by Johann Hutter (1864) replace the missing sculptures by Giovanni Giuliani from the year 1721. On the walls hang several grave slabs, including an epitaph of the scholar Johannes Cuspinian (1515) and the by Jacob Schletterer created grave monument of the Landkomtur Josef Philipp Graf Harrach. Most of the more than eighty coats of arms of German knights, covering the upper part of the walls were designed by Johann Andreas Frank 1722.

Rivera developed his own native style based on large, simplified figures and bold colors with an Aztec influence clearly present in murals at the Secretariat of Public Education in Mexico City begun in September 1922, intended to consist of one hundred and twenty-four frescoes, and finished in 1928.
I made this goddess at the request of a customer. I used white wool, and filled her with osha root, tobacco, sage, sweetgrass, mugwort, lavender, juniper, cedar, rose hips, rosemary, patchouli, and willow bark, all stuffed inside white silk. I adorned her with embroidery and obsidian, smoky quartz, carnelian, rose quartz, sodalite, amethyst and clear quartz beads, as well as tiny iridescent glass beads. The tiny medicine bag at her throat was made from soft, pale blue leather and has and was tied closed with a tiny shell. The rattle was made from a hollowed out hazelnut, wood, leather, hemp, and thread--and it really rattles.

In the four corners of the room Evangelists Statues by Johann Hutter (1864) replace the missing sculptures by Giovanni Giuliani from the year 1721. On the walls hang several grave slabs, including an epitaph of the scholar Johannes Cuspinian (1515) and the by Jacob Schletterer created grave monument of the Landkomtur Josef Philipp Graf Harrach. Most of the more than eighty coats of arms of German knights, covering the upper part of the walls were designed by Johann Andreas Frank 1722.
Location / Address : 1010 Vienna, Singerstraße 7

I've opened them all up and placed them down for this group photo, time to inspect them all meticulously and make sure everything is ok and as it should be.
Thank you for the music : ABBA members get Swedish knighthoods
Agnetha, Benny, Björn and Anni-Frid become first Swedes to be knighted by their monarch for almost 50 years
The pop legends were recognised by King Carl XVI Gustaf on Friday for their cultural impact, which has taken Swedish pop music to a huge global audience.
The group – Benny Andersson, Agnetha Fältskog, Anni-Frid Lyngstad-Reuss and Björn Ulvaeus – made a rare public appearance together in Stockholm where they were given the Royal Order of Vasa for “outstanding efforts in Swedish and international music”.
This is my Brickizimo order!
I'm really happy with the weapons I ordered, and the service is great! I'm only a bit disappointed in the mystery pack. A blood paintball gun? What the heck? And the ray gun is kinda useless. But the sword and the minigun are ok. I really love the alternative version of the minigun, with the different top.
The other weapons are just awesome! I can use them very good, I love the sniper rifle, with the special things I got too. The LAS Minigun is just awesome! Although, it's quite small.
Nothing here is for trade or sale, I need the weapons myself, and the Brickarms Proto is already for trade.
some oaf rolled my office chair across this model.
here's the conundrum: nobody ever uses my chair but me....??
I decided to view it as a random reconfiguration resulting in a new corrugation pattern.
Order of Victory.
It was created on November 8, 1943. The Order of Victory was the highest military decoration in the Soviet Armed Forces and one of the most unique in the world due to the small number of receivers. It was established on November 8, 1943 and granted only generals and marshals for "successful operations within the framework of one or several fronts resulting in a radical change in the situation for the Red Army." Made of platinum, rubies and 150 diamonds, the intrinsic value of the award is substantial. The logo represents the Spasskaya Tower of the Moscow Kremlin, the Lenin Mausoleum front. 20 of them were granted.
