One of the World’s tallest statues of Lenin (and Stalin). Traveling along the Moscow Canal.

Описание: This 25 meter-tall statue of Vladimir Lenin is installed in the city of Dubna (Moscow Oblast), at the place where the Moscow canal flows into the river Volga.

I invite you to follow my trip along the canal and learn some history about the great constructions of the second five-year-plan of the USSR (and a bit about GULAG)

Stay with us in a hotel which used to be a soviet camp for pioneers and still guards a lot of Soviet objects (Art Hotel Veretievo)

I hope the video will convey to you the spirit of True Russian Winter.

Express your opinion: is the Moscow canal a great achievement of the USSR or a canal on the bones?
