The Soviet empire’s style has many beautiful examples which are among the highlights of 20th century architecture anywhere.” All built by slave labor.

There is a picture at the web site of the proposed cemetary. It includes a statue that looks almost like Michelangelo's Pieta blown up about 10 times.

Is this a Christian sculpture or some grotesque caricature?

Ah, for the Rodinia!

When I traveled in Russia, the number of monuments and such was mind blowing.

A good site
http://www.englishrussia.com/?p=276
shows many intersting images of the former Soviet. So sad in so many ways. The site has many pages and well worth some of your time.

You can take the boy out of the KGB, but you can’t take the KGB out of the boy.
