Forgotten statue of comrade Lenin

After World War II the Second Guard Tank Army of the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany occupied the area in which the building is located and access was denied to all German citizens.The local mansions new purpose were as accommodation for the families of high Soviet commanders and this big yellow villa became the Officer’s House. As the the occupying forces left the area in 1993, the former owners received their properties back. #lenin #Soviet #Army #stalin #socialism #communism #communist
