Sovietiniu Skulpturu Muziejus


Las banderolas molaban, la verdad. Posted by Picasa


Also known as Gruto Parkas. It's the park we went to visit last Sunday. It's a really nice place in the countryside, where someone decided, instead of destroying all soviet scultures and symbols, make money with them. A really capitalist way of thinking. So, in this park you can see most of the statues that decorated Lithuania not so many many years ago. And... well... nothing else interesting... it seems that the only interesting places in Lithuania are these hot spots, like Gruto Parkas or Crosses Hill, Vilnius, and maybe the coast, but i still haven't been there. But used to a country as Spain, so focused of tourism, this sometimes is strange for me.

What i found more curious in all this about Gruto Parkas is that, although communism was supposed, is supposed, to be a political and economic model where everybody is equal... again, and again, and again, the scultures of Lenin and Stalin repetead, as if they were some kind of goddess. I haven't seen this cult to a political leader anywhere... maybe in Cuba and China? I don't know, but never in a capitalist country. So i find strange how they contradict theirselfes. What would think Lenin of all these? Who knows?

...tío, cómo viajas. Cuando nos veamos me contarás más, que esos lugares deben molar mucho.
