Soviet leaders
This is a weird private house in Vladimir, Russia - the landlord has installed newly built monuments of all the leaders of USSR, from Lenin to Gorbachev. Photos by (c) Arnis Balcus
Any chance we could have Leonid Brezhnev? He is my favourite of all soviet chairmen. I still remember 'concrete face' attempting not to smile at the little Miska bears at the closing ceremony for the 1980 summer Olympics in Moscow. He gave the soviet union a human face.
