It's all Memento Park, all week, this week. This means it's all kitschy-commie statuary from the park outside Budapest that has become the final resting place for the communist-era propaganda statuary that pock-marked Budapest in the Cold War era.
This is the enormous "Republic of Councils Monument" that probably would be considered the centerpiece of Memento Park. For one reason, unlike the rest of the "socialist realism" communist propaganda statuary in the park, this one has life and motion. It's not stiff and rigid. This one, jokingly, was regularly referred to as "Budapest thermal bath attendant chases after patron who dropped his towel."
I visited Memento Park outside Budapest 10 years and one month ago.
