statue copy 2

Some Russian holiday snaps this week on the Post, but only five, which is better than the 635 or whatever that Pat and Tony on The Archers are inflicting on their friends. This is the kind of mural/sculpture that one sees a lot of; yet it’s quite hard to know how to react because the non-Russian has such conflicted feelings about it. On the other hand many of us are not so keen on the statues of generals on horseback which can be seen all over central London, although we pass them by without a second glance.
