Here, we see a model of a class ТЭ steam locomotive, which is a former German wartime class 52 locomotive in service for the Soviet Railways. The environment was made by Midjourney version 4.
Once this was the biggest airfield in Eastern Germany with thousands of Soviet soldiers living here - but when the Iron Curtain was lifted, they left. For 30 years now, this has been a ghost town. This time, we set out to explore a Soviet wasteland! Learn the full story in this episode on YouTube: youtu.be/t-pYZenXMyk
Since I own a 1942-vintage Mosin-Nagant rifle in real life, I thought it was about time I changed up my sigfig to use one of the new overmolded BrickArms Mosin-Nagants with a new sigfig.

The Motherland Monument is a monumental statue in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.
The stainless steel statue stands 62 m (203 ft) tall upon the museum main building with the overall structure measuring 102 m (335 ft) including its base and weighing 560 tons. The sword in the statue's right hand is 16 m (52 ft) long weighing 9 tons, with the left hand holding up a 13 by 8 m (43 by 26 ft) shield with the State Emblem of the Soviet Union.
the 1950s, a plan circulated of building on the spot of the current statue twin monuments of Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin, nearly 200 m (660 ft) tall each.[6] However, this did not go ahead. Instead, according to legend, in the 1970s, a shipload of Communist Party officials and Soviet sculptor Yevgeny Vuchetich looked across at the hills by the Lavra and decided the panorama needed a war memorial. Vuchetich had designed the other two most famous giant Soviet war memorials, The Motherland Calls in Volgograd and the Soviet soldier carrying German infant constructed after the war in East Berlin. However, Vuchetich died in 1974, and the design of the memorial was afterwards substantially reworked and completed under the guidance of Vasyl Borodai.
Final plans for the statue were made in 1978, with construction beginning in 1979. It was controversial, many criticised the costs involved and claimed the funds could have been better spent elsewhere. When director of construction Ivan Petrovich was asked to confirm the costs of 9 million rubles, he responded that this was a conservative estimate. The statue was opened in 1981 in a ceremony attended by Soviet president Leonid Brezhnev.
In modern-day Kiev, the statue remains controversial, with some claiming it should be pulled down and its metal used for more functional purposes. Financial shortages mean that the flame, which uses up to 400 m3 (14,000 cu ft) of gas per hour, can only burn on the biggest national holidays, and rumours persist that the statue is built on unstable foundations, something strongly denied by the Kiev local government.[7][8]
In April 2015, the parliament of Ukraine outlawed Soviet and Communist symbols, street names and monuments, in a decommunization attempt.[9] But World War II monuments are excluded from these laws.[10] Director of the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance Volodymyr Viatrovych stated in February 2018 that the state emblem of the Soviet Union on the shield of the monument should be removed according to the decommunization laws

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.

ACS-1 Mig Clock
"The ACS-1 aircraft clock is one of the most fascinating clocks I have found, not only because of its military application, but also because of its complications.
It was made for the fastest and highest-flying Soviet/Russian fighter jet planes (such as MiG-23, MiG-25, MiG-29 and Su-27), original Russian Air Force issue, and produced by Molnija, Мопния, (Chelyabinsk Watch Factory), in Chelyabinsk, Челябинск, east of the Ural Mountains, about 1500 km. east of Moscow.
It has a timer and a seconds chronograph. The top dial shows the number of hours and minutes that, for example, the pilot has been in flight. The bottom dial shows the minutes and seconds elapsed, in a separate and independent stopwatch. I found the first two photos on the internet. The first photo shows where the clock was mounted in the aircraft."

Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev wore a Big Zero, and on one occasion, when asked by Italian journalists what "perestroika" meant for Russia, he said that Russians wanted to start their lives from zero, and showed them the watch to illustrate his point.
The next day his photographs appeared on the papers with caption like, "The Russians are starting all over again from zero!"
