I Captured 21 Symbols Of The USSR That Are Now Relegated To Oblivion
I am Dimitri Bourriau, a photographer based in Paris, and I am delighted to present to you my new photographic series entitled "The Forgotten Relics of the USSR". This series is the result of several trips through the former Soviet republics, where I captured images of statues of Soviet leaders now hidden or forgotten, as well as ancient mosaics testifying to a bygone era.

All these statues of Lenin, even a few of Ringo, but not one of McCartney.

Any country that has pictures and statues of their dear leaders everywhere is always, always, a repressive regime.

I as german am kinda ashamed that we still have GDR statues, symbols of any oppressive regime shouldn't be kept around. (The USSR overall; lots of crimes in that history)

Don't be ashamed, if we as a society don't know where we've come from we've got no hope to move forward. Without relics of the past, horrors commited then, might be forgotten and repeated in the future.
