Stalin in Albania

Stalin and Lenin can be found even in Tirana, Albania. But not in the best spot - the large monuments are hidden behind the National art gallery and most likely date back to early 1950s when Albania were friends with Soviet Union until Stalin's death. Besides - Lenin is missing a hand.

Titograd

In Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, it is hard to find something that reminds of its former name - Titograd, unless you look at utility holes.

Russian peace

This looks like a sun with a word "peace" in Russian in it, found on the school in Līvani, East Latvia. In Russian it actually means "the world" as well.

Old shops in Latgale

I already posted photos of some shops in Latgale region of East Latvia. Here goes a few more. Usually they are called just "shops" (veikals) and not by some name because in most cases they don't need one as there is no competition - there is no other shop nearby. Also, most of them who haven't changed the place just kept the old time sign "veikals" for ages.
