Stalin World - Lithuania

An unlikely theme park is fast becoming one of Lithuania's top tourist attractions, nicknamed 'Stalin World' Grutas Park serves as a reminder for future generations of how not to let history repeat itself.
A period in history that saw hundreds of thousands of people shipped to work camps in Siberia is now being documented in the most unusual way. The theme park creator Vilimaus says, "by creating this park here, we want to constantly remind people about these things that are often forgotten". But the parks existence in Lithuania is a contentious and divisive issue to the local people who are appalled that money can be made in this way.

IM FROM LITHUANIA< THIS VIDEO IS NOT A PROPAGANDA, IT REALLY HAPPENED

[Jzubbs301]

you're a fan of Stalin yet America and Europe are the arrogant, filthy Imperialists?? You really need to get your head examined!

-p.s. participating in auctions is one of the most direct forms of capitalism. So be a good socialist and stay off of ebay.

The red army was very close to intervene in that region not a long time ago indeed. If it ever happens, LT, although not being concerned, can suffer side effects. Maybe that's why NATO is working in the once abandoned airfield east of Kaunas in the road to Mariampole...

His motivation was "reminding" those "things", or making money? The family house close to that park reminds me other things, also...

I cannot see why this comment received "too many negative votes", maybe for you're throwing different things into the same bag. Much more stupid is the one of someone with a password name who sees ebay as a pilar of capitalism, ahahah.
