October 11 | Schwarzenbergplatz, Vienna
That's a Soviet monument in the middle of Vienna. I was so excited! The back reads:
Вечная слава героям Красной Армии, павшим в боях с Немецко - Фашистскими захватчиками за свободу и независимость народов Европы!
Translated:
Eternal glory to the heroes of the Red Army, fallen in battles with the German - Fascist invaders for the freedom and independence of the nations of Europe!
The center has a list of names and text that praises the Russian troops, with excerpts of the first Soviet national anthem - no wonder the Austrians don't like this monument.
And yes, I'm back in Budapest.
