Memento Park
Memento Park is an open-air museum in Budapest, Hungary, dedicated to monumental statues and sculpted plaques from Hungary's Communist period (19491989). There are statues of Lenin, Marx, and Engels, as well as several Hungarian Communist leaders. The park was designed by Hungarian architect Ákos Eleőd, who won the competition announced by the Budapest General Assembly in 1991. On public transport diagrams and other documents the park is usually shown as Memorial Park.
A quote by the architect on the project: "This park is about dictatorship. And at the same time, because it can be talked about, described, built, this park is about democracy. After all, only democracy is able to give the opportunity to let us think freely about dictatorship."
The red army entered Prague after Slavs mainly Ukrainians dressed in German uniforms known as Vasoff’s army paid by the Nazis who were fighting communists kicked the SS out of Prague and surrendered it to a Czech delegation who then turned them over to the advancing Russian Communist army
Any of America’s large cities would like to have it, some would like to put it where they removed Confederate statues, New Orleans, Memphis, Louisville for example.
Reminds me of Estonia removing the statue of the Unknown Rapist.
