Just up the hill from us is Slavin - a Communist monument to fallen Russian soldiers of WWII. To me it's kind of a strange thing to celebrate since the Liberators quickly turned their coats to become Occupiers. Of course they would call it being good Big Brothers...but that's another story. History is complicated, emotional, and shifting from age to age. It's not as enduring as the stones we write it upon. Regardless of your view, the view from Slavin on the city is always good.
