Friendship monument

This friendship monument was build in 1983 to celebrate 200 years of friendship between Georgia and Russia…… this was a few years before they went to war…

Ha! Ha! In Poland there are also a few monuments of friendship with the USSR and for legal reasons they cannot be removed. In 1983 Georgia was under Soviet occupation as the Socialist Republic of CCCR. And the rest of the story is similar to that in Ukraine.

Excellent light and shadow.

What a great shot and what a political statement. It was fascinating to read Haskar's comment. It made me wonder what sort of legal situation could prevent their removal ... @haskar

Such an interesting monument, and fabulous capture. The history of it is quite something else
