Soviet memorial, West Hollywood
Posted: February 25, 2022 Filed under: the California Condition, WW2 Leave a commentThe only monument to soldiers of the former Soviet Union on US soil* is in West Hollywood.
The monument was and is controversial.
Out for a walk the other day we spotted this at the Russian language library:
How many of those are left?
* haven’t confirmed this myself and wouldn’t be shocked if there’s another example. I’m pretty sure there are at least like US-Soviet friendship memorials from WW2, or memorial stones/plaques given in tribute to the alliance of that time, or commemorating units that coordinated on the Siberian airlifts, at the Punchbowl in Hawaii for instance.
