The Soviet War Memorial in Vienna, more formally known as the Heldendenkmal der Roten Armee (English: Heroes' Monument of the Red Army) is located at Vienna's Schwarzenbergplatz. The semi-circular white marble colonnade partially enclosing a twelve-metre figure of a Red Army Soldier was unveiled in 1945.The Heroes' Monument of the Red Army in Vienna was built to commemorate 17,000 Soviet soldiers who fell in the Battle for Vienna of World War II.

These soccer bleachers in northern Moldova, one of the poorest nations in Europe, have fallen in complete disrepair since the fall of the Soviet Union. The wonderful people of Moldova are making a slow but sure rebound since 2009 when the Communist party lost control. Moldova is currently seeking entrance into the European Union.

 

Bratislava apartments built during the Soviet occupation. Once a dull, base concrete color, most have now been painted a brighter gray with splashes of color added. We were lucky enough to do some home visits and found that the buildings are well constructed, with rooms that were larger and brighter than I expected.

Und immer noch zieren sie die marode Turnhalle auf dem Kasernengelände vor den Toren der großen Stadt. Für wie lange wohl noch?

 

This mural still adorns the derelict gym of one of the largest former soviet military compounds in eastern Germany. But its days are counted.

The redo is here! I did not consider with my first version that this was a fiberglass movie-made vehicle built on a 1980s Jeep chassis. Thankfully, I looked at a couple prop sites that sold the duck in the past, and lo and behold, they had dimensions! It’s quite a bit wider than a real WWII Ford GPA or GAZ 46 (~81cm difference makes the Indy one about two studs wider).

 

All pieces can be acquired in real life!

 

Also, any Russian speakers know what the rear text means? Google translate gives gibberish. Vehicle code?

Part of the ornate world of Moscow's metro system. Designed under Stalin's orders to be "Palaces under the ground", much remains of the dictator's lasting legacy seen by millions of Muscovites every day as they travel through ornate stations more akin to art galleries than a public transport system
