Pictures 2: Treptow Park

During de-Stalinification they apparently overlooked this huge statue of Stalin in the middle of a park, surrounded by Stalin quotes, with hammers and sickles everywhere.


The main view from way, way back. There's more past that weird Soviet gate.


The hammer and sickle is on the top of that very, very red brick gate thing, closer than the last one.


Here's a statue of one of the soldiers, zoomed in from the gates in the first and second photos.


Just past the gate, those little things on the far right and left edges are Soviet scenes with Stalin quotes, in German on the right and in Russian on the left.


Under the statue of Stalin there was this mausoleum it seemed like. At the base of that little box in the center there are flowers.
