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.
