Raising Soviet Flag over the Reichstag, a photograph taken on 2 May 1945
The Battle of Berlin, designated the Berlin Strategic Offensive Operation by the USSR, and also known as the Fall of Berlin, was one of the last major offensives of the European theatre of World War II.
During the construction of Novopolotsk, architects and artists worked closely with each other. As a result of this cooperation, specialists from Vitebsk art workshops have created mosaics on a variety of topics on new houses. Despite the fact that some of the mosaics have already been destroyed, the total volume of mosaic panels in Novopolotsk remains one of the largest in the republic.
При строительстве г. Новополоцка архитекторы и художники плотно сотрудничали друг с другом. В результате этого сотрудничества на новых домах специалистами Витебских художественных мастерских появились мозаики на самые разные темы. Несмотря на то, что часть мозаик уже уничтожена, общий объём мозаичных панно в Новополоцке остаётся одним из крупнейших в республике.
Just a fun little table scrap field radio I slapped together while installing some updates on the old desktop the other day.

After a morning exploring Transnistria, we find this restaurant in the middle of town. The owner has collected lots of Russian and Soviet artefacts and turned the restaurant into a museum, but here you can touch as well look at the exhibits. The food is also traditional fayre and between us we had a good selection to sample!
The Dnister River marks the border between Moldova and the breakaway state of Transnistria. However, Transnistria means "other side of the Dnister [river]", but since to the residents they're on 'this' side they call the region Pridnistrovie, meaning "Before the Dnister [river]". This part of Moldova want independence and separation from Moldova, to keep their Russian identity, but they don't want to part of Russia or have any links to The Kremlin. There has border control to enter the region but everything is so friendly, despite us being so close to the Ukrainian border.
