According to a report by the Moscow Times, pranksters in Bulgaria are repainting Soviet-era monuments so that Soviet military heroes look like American Superheroes. Needless to say, the Russians are not too happy about it:
Russia is demanding that Bulgaria try harder to prevent vandalism of Soviet monuments, after yet another monument to Soviet troops in Sofia was spray-painted, ITAR-Tass reported.
The Russian Embassy in Bulgaria has issued a note demanding that its former Soviet-era ally clean up the monument in Sofia's Lozenets district, identify and punish those responsible, and take "exhaustive measures" to prevent similar attacks in the future, the news agency reported Monday.
The monument was sprayed with red paint on the eve of the Bulgarian Socialist Party's celebration of its 123rd anniversary, the Sofia-based Novinite news agency reported.
The vandalism was the latest in a series of similar recent incidents in Bulgaria — each drawing angry criticism from Moscow…

Russians need to lighten up.
LOL, Awesome!
Someone should tell the writer of this piece that Ronald McDonald and Santa Claus are not Super Heroes and that the Joker is a villain.
Where’s Batman? Hillarious!
In Soviet Union no is Joker villain. Is good Soviet Man.
That’s the kind of vandalism even a crusty old fart like me can appreciate.
Maybe they should have rethought the capes then?
And got to admit. It is pretty clever and pretty well done. And, honestly, Who doesn’t like Santa?
Lighten up, Ivan.
Ronald McDonald is an American superhero? And isn’t the Joker usually a supervillain?
OK then. Any Soviet monuments that can be repainted as Titanium Man, Krasnoye Dynamo or Omega Red?
Ronald McDonald? Where’s the BK King?
No Ironman?
How about the X-men’s Collossus, and his fateful sidekick Dead Pool?
Personally, I find it hilarious.
That photo is absolutely fantastic
This is the future for the yet to be built Maxine Waters and Kamala Harris monuments, too. :)
BFL
Love it.
