Only it's headless and toppled, representing the end of the Soviet Union. Just one of many installations at <a href="http://www.newseum.org/newseum/aboutthenewseum/freedompark.htm" rel="nofollow">Freedom Park</a> in Rosslyn--the best being the Berlin Wall exhibit--although when I visited it was still being restorated. You can still see it even though the gate is closed and locked. How ironic. My favorite is the Cuban handiman's metal boat he built in his shop and then sailed to Miami with his wife. They survived the trip and now live in NY. I’ve got a statue of Stalin for you. Only it’s headless and toppled, representing the end of the Soviet Union.
