This picture I shot through a 5ply glas in the evening. So the contour is low and the grain is high. But a good shot indeed. Have a nice day!

Ero comunista. Sono comunista.

non credo nella politica, credo in un ideale, fatto di fratellanza e solidarietà difesa dei più deboli, difesa dei più poveri. ora e sempre resistenza.

More than 7000m high, Peak Lenin is located in south Kyrgyzstan. Well, quite a shy guy. I mean: the mountain, not the man whose name they use. Shy, because we had to wait until it finally showed up, looking down on us near that yurt camp.

One of the delights of Seattle is funky free-thinking Fremont, where you can always find the statue of Lenin - and I don't mean John Lennon! This larger-than-life (all 7 tons of it), controversial bronze rendering of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin glares down at you from his corner perch in Fremont, just across from the old Doric Masonic Lodge (they cater for all tastes in Fremont!).
The statue was created by Emil Venkov, a Slavic artist, and installed in his home-town of Poprad, in 1988. But just a year later, Lewis Carpenter, an American veteran teaching in Poprad, found the sculpture lying face down after it was toppled during the 1989 Revolution.
Carpenter mortgaged his house in Issaquah to bring it back home to sell. He died in 1994 but the family now owns that statue and its still placed there temporarily for view and sale (offers of around $150k and a good home - would make an ideal Christmas gift!), both to fulfill Carpenter's dream - that the work be seen and enjoyed and eventually find a permanent home - and to serve as a reminder of an important period of history.
And with Fremont being Fremont, each Christmas old Lennie gets the seasonal treatment by being decked out in lights. Only in Fremont...

Haus der Offiziere - Das Oberkommando der Sowjetischen Streitkräfte in der DDR
Ein Prachtkomplex südlich von Berlin. Schon zu Kaisers Zeiten als Sportschule des Heeres erbaut. Später dann Oberkommando des Heeres. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg war hier das Oberkommando der Wehrmacht beheimatet, bevor die Russen einzogen.
Bis 1994 war der Komplex das Repräsentationszentrum der Streitkräfte der Sowjetunion in Deutschland.
Seit 1994 steht die Lenin-Statue vor dem Gebäude verlassen.
Zum Komplex gehören, Saäle, Hallen, Theater, Schwimmbad etc.
Der Komplex steht in Wunsdorf, heute ein Dorf mit 6.000 Einwohnern und zig Kasernengebäuden, Bunkern, etc. die zum Großteil leerstehen und verfallen und zuwuchern.
Zu Hochzeiten waren hier 75.000 Russen inkl. ihrer Familien beheimatet.
Es wurde auch als "Klein Moskau" bezeichnet oder als "verbotene Stadt", denn DDR-Bürger hatten keinen Zutritt

The head of Dnipropetrovsk's Lenin was given to the city's National Historical Museum. It remains in storage as the institution does not currently have the resources to exhibit it.

Found this staircase in an old antique store in Russia. I went back this year and the painting has been removed and the walls painted an ugly white. Camera: Horizon 202

A masterpiece of Constructivist architecture to many, to others the style of this building has sinister, fascist overtones. Either way it does not desrve the giant letters SAMSUNG on the roof. Which I was careful to leave out of these pictures of the biggest National library in the world.
When communists arrived to power, among their first measures was to demolish all the statues of kings and "undesirable" politicians around the country, to cut off memories about the past. And as if history began in 1950's with their rule, they melted most of the statues, even the Mestrovic ones.
As history turned its back to communism, so did the people, and got rid of communist statues. But they did not melt them as communists did 50 years earlier, maybe with a view history may change once again and Lenin could prove useful once more :-)
On the outside wall near the three-towered Cuhnia (the kitchen), one can find two bronze statues laying to the ground:
- Lenin monumental statue - the one which stood in front of Casa Scanteii (today called Press House or Casa Presei Libere) in Bucharest, demolished in 1989
- Dr. Petru Groza - a smaller bronze representing the first communist ruler of Romania
