TV- TOWERS
I also have photos of the Fernsehturm in Stuttgart
and Berlin, but not at hand, sorry.
Of those below, I only went up the one in Tashkent (1st level).
The tower in Moscow was closed for renovation, and the one in Almaty
was not open to visitors.
STATUES
OF MOTHERLAND
Mother Motherland (Russian: Rodina-mat) is the name
of several huge statues
in various cities of the former Soviet Union.
All of them commemorate the Soviet victory in the Great Patriotic
War (World War II).

STATUES
OF LENIN
Although
Stalin statues are quite rare (except in Georgia),
Lenin statues are still quite common,
although they have sometimes been "relocated at the back"
like in Bishkek.
In Russia, most towns have some sort of Lenin Sq. with a statue or
like in Ulan-Ude, a BIG head.
