Ukraine in the membrane

tikistitchSome pictures from Ukraine, where, as you'll recall, creepy assholes robbed us and stole our camera.
Showing typical Soviet-era modesty, this statue from Kiev is probaby 10 kajillion feet tall (according to the google, that's 102 meters).
You get to the area by walking past a sort of museum for armaments, including this puzzling "Push Me Pull You" tank - for if you're attacked from behind?
Then you get to the actual square. Ever get the feeling that somebody was compensating for something?
There's also a lot of more normal-sized statues of various soldiers.
We liked these Grateful Dead tanks.
Mr. Tiki noticed they're not painted on the reverse side though.
And finally, you exit through a tunnel, lovingly decorated with this Frieze. We can't read Ukranian, but we think it's titled something like, "The Chippendales guys go to war!"
