Picture of the Week #362 "Lenin" & Bonus "Kruschev" Moscow, Russia 1988 Signed & Stamped
When I was in Russia for the first Soviet / American Film Interchange since World War Two I tried to capture some of the iconic images of the Soviet's past. Driving along I noticed the giant billboard of Vladimir Lenin's portrait plastered to the side of a wall. I don't know what the significance of it's hanging there meant, nor could anyone tell me since he was long gone. Then my guide took me to the cemetery and asked if I would like to dance on Kruschev's grave. I thought he was kidding. But lo and behold there it was. I took some pictures instead.
