Russia Wants Bulgarians to Stop Vandalizing Soviet Monuments


Figures of Soviet soldiers at the base of a Soviet Army monument were previously transformed into superheroes in Sofia, Bulgaria.


This is pretty inspired, actually. I'm sure there's a paper one could write about the reuse of Soviet iconography in protest movements.

That's hilarious!

I hope the Bulgarians vandalize repurpose more monuments. (Off to see if I can translate that graffito.)(ETA: Nope.)
