Samara Square in the morning with
The Volga River and the Zhiguli Hills in the background

Excuse me, city of Volgograd
May I borrow your Nazi killing machine?
I'm seeing fascism on the rise in some places.

St. Vladimir


There is no God but Lenin
His head a shining beacon for us all
Or at least for the proletariat
