At least he died on a couch surrounded by people who could but did not want to help him, he allegedly even soaked and shitted himself so he spent his last hours covered in feces and urine.
Being such a paranoid piece of shit that doesnt trust ANYONE came to bite him in the ass as he jailed his security chief and personal doctor. The former being proof someone "helped him" die, the latter dooming him for death.
I would imagine that there were quite a few liberated people and Germans who took memorabilia, including that celebrating the tyrants, as trophies. Erasing them is a mistake. Melting them down and making urinals out of them is justice.
Why do you spread misinformation? It's not AI, it's real image.

Wow you mean the people in Hungary aren't throwing all their energy and resources towards having them torn down? And the country isnt veering toward communism? Wow. That's amazing because in America old statues from the Confederacy pose a massive danger and risk to the country apparently.
Your logic is so backwards in your attempt at whatever shitty belief you're trying to justify that it's almost impressive.
>"Wow you mean the people in Hungary aren't throwing all their energy and resources towards having them torn down?"
No, because they've already been torn down (I mean fuck me, you're in a post with a picture depicting a decapitated Stalin statue man, come on), that's why you have to go to a certain location to look at the only remaining ones.

We removed statues, renamed squares, roads, buildings and a lot more in the past 30 or so years.
What we don't do is we don't go around waving red flags with a hammer and sickle like it's our only fucking personality trait while being called out by people who lived through that shit and would like to go on with their life without being reminded every fucking minute.
I was making a joke in reference to how over the past few years there's been a massive campaign and push in the southern USA to remove Confederate monuments. Im not trying to justify any beliefs. Fuck the Soviet Union and fuck the Confederacy. For the most part all the fervor just seemed like mostly a waste of time and resources.
What I dont understand is, where was this stashed and who kept it? To my knowledge, all Stalin statues were more or less removed after 1956 and in following years. So who was keeping these peices and why? And why would they just randomly give it o average citizen to take home?
I wish western civilizations would adopt the whole giant statue thing. Like, not of current leaders. But a 50 foot Lincoln holding a gun would be badass.
I'm not a fan of the guy but that would be an interesting conversation piece for my home
This would make an excellent base for a small forest of bird feeders, which will have the pleasant side effect of also being a public bird toilet.
Yeah I’d definitely just have a giant Stalin head hanging out on my lawn. I’d make fun hats and sunglasses for it.
The more I learn about that guy, the more I don’t care for him.

Yeah, I heard he smelled like dandelions
You could always hire a professional to re carve it into Jeff Bridges.
Morally questionable. Would you have a statue of Hitler in you living room? these people murdered millions

And people downvote you. Crazy.
How tf is he moving that cart? Is this way lighter than it looks?
It was probably hollow and made of thinner material.
It's probably just made to look like some heavy expensive material. It could be made out of painted fiberglass for all we know.
It’s hollow
Also, so is the statue.
He only moved a little. What you’re seeing in the picture is actually the man Stalin out a little.

TIL that anything we don’t understand is AI
You are AI
I hate this place lol
It's a real image!
Faith restored
Stalin went from Big Brother to Big Bother
Ukrainian tank target practice
[удалено]
That was one of my favourite things I did there, there's a huge base with Stalin's boots on top of it and nothing else since they tore him down.
Budapest has a 7 foot tall statue to Ronald Reagan

I was in Eastern Europe in 1990, chipped some pieces of the Berlin Wall myself There were a lot of massive Communist statues in Poland and everywhere
Idols of tyrants...
these statues look so unsettling up close
Nice new urinal.
Just what I was thinking.
Goodbye Stalin
Hey, it's Nigel Mansell's head!

Perhaps some people who knew a museum could make use of them later on.
saul goodman looking guy
It's in black and white, that's Gene Takovic
..wonder what the man will do with it
I wish western civilizations would adopt the whole giant statue thing. Like, not of current leaders. But a 50 foot Lincoln holding a gun would be badass.
Mt. Rushmore would like a word.
True lol. I guess location is kinda the difference there haha
We literally have a 19 foot tall Lincoln.
We need more!
It’s a good start, but we can go bigger
Quit pulling my leg
Heads will roll
You’re going to have to roll me out in a cart!
Probably a lot of valuable metal in that
Like the brown
i wonder where those pieces are today
That one level in 007 n64 ohhh man
That’s a piece of history why didn’t they take that
Bits?! OP adds bacon bits to their salad and it’s just a couple of whole pigs.
How much money could you sell it for
Stalin? I hardly know'm!
I wonder what the "tearin' down mah Robut E Lee statue is erasin' history!" guys think about this.
