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
Dreams of the space program from a section of the Communist reliefs along the highway to Tskvarichamia, the abandoned Soviet resort in the foothills of the Georgian Caucuses.
The Soviet War Memorial is located in the Tiergarten, Berlin, Germany. Shortly after the war in 1945, the Soviet War Memorial was erected in the Tiergarten park by the Soviet Union to commemorate its war dead. 80,000 soldiers died in the Battle of Berlin. 2,000 Soviet soldiers are buried here.

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.
I am working on a few WWII Soviet ammo crates and wanted some feedback.
This crate is for a rifle cartridge.

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.
