The Lithuanian Park Poking Fun At Communism (2001)

  • Stalinworld (2001) - In a country where ¼ of the population was deported to the Gulag many visitors agree that “people survived that era by having such humour” - and this tongue-in-cheek park proves it.

    From an expostulating Lenin to a singing Stalin, this place has it all. One mushroom-businessman-turned-theme-park-entrepreneur has realised his dream, dredging up discarded statues from Lithuania's era of Communism, and displaying them for all to see - along with actors, sketches, and anything else that undermines the past leaders' authority. Although some feel it is unnecessarily reliving a tragic age best left untouched, others see it as a coping mechanism, and proof that the people of Lithuania have survived to laugh another day.

      not just 5 stars but it is among most visited parks in lithuania too, even tho media says lithuanians hate ussr and communism, many who lived in those times tells diferent story, just no one with western mind wants that info go public. According to stats around 50 60% of citizens of former ussr states think ussr collapse was bad thing.

      They didn't choose to, what a weird choice that would be to make on their own soil at a time when anti-Russian sentiment was perhaps at an all-time high. My understanding of it makes me bet that they were approached and addressed in broken Russian by the Australian journalist, therefore only those who could answer in Russian made the cut (other than the American guy for obvious reasons). Because back in those days, English language media would only ever send their Russian proficient resident "Moscow correspondent" to cover anything happening in the Baltics, and had a general understanding (erroneous, of course) that only those with knowledge of Russian should go there. Whereas nowadays they just send whoever is up for it directly from the head office and they make their way around interviewing people in English or - worst case scenario - hire a local fixer who acts as an English-Lithuanian direct translator, thus skipping any burdensome 3rd party languages altogether.

      Pijus 5:26 he is clearly addressed in English. It's just that almost no one knew English back then, so Russian is the only more international language they knew, unfortunately. Perhaps the journalist had an English-Russian translator, who couldn't translate Lithuanian. That's my guess

    I remember visiting this place as a kid a few times. For kids it's a peculiar park to experience a little tiny bit of what our parents and grandparents experienced. For older generations, it's a place to relive the soviet times, even have a nostalgic (that was their childhood then after all) drink of kvass. As a kid I mostly cared about the little zoo, of course.
