Well, I was gonna call her 'Red son Wonder woman', but she looks nothing like her. So we'll just go with Soviet Wonder woman. I was even able to add a lil' hammer and sickle to her tiara.
As always, lemme know what you think :D

The end of the line 10 in Riga has some rather run down trackage that provides the classic Soviet, or maybe more accurately post Soviet tram aesthetic. Here a set of T3s are heading back towards the city, having just left the Doles iela stop. For the sake of transparency, I virtually vaporized an offending Landrover SUV that was intruding into my nice Eastern scene.
Awe's original design was quite close to the 1:40 scale I build most of my minifig-scale models in, so it worked out great. It's for sure one of the best MiG-21 models in Lego, so go check it out on his photostream!
Cimetière soviétique
De nombreux prisonniers soviétiques, travailleurs forcés, sont morts entre 1943 et 1945 dans les mines de Moutiers et Valleroy. Pour honorer leur mémoire, un comité d’anciens combattants fut créé en 1957 avec pour président René Lamorlette. Cinquante-quatre dépouilles de prisonniers soviétiques furent inhumées dans la nécropole, en lisière du bois de Vroaille à Valleroy.
Le 20 mai 1971, une stèle réalisée par le sculpteur Amilcar Zannoni fut inaugurée.
Chaque année, une cérémonie organisée par le Comité de la stèle de Valleroy réunit des officiels et une délégation russe.
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.
