	This is where Germany ends. The border with the Czech republic near Högelstein chapel (Bavaria)
	A somewhat run-down building in Bernauer Straße (Berlin) in typical 'seventies architecture
	The socialist leader Ernst Thälmann has been immortalized in the Berlin park that bears his name. Sculptor was the Russian Lev Kerbel'. As can be seen, Lev Efimovič was not afraid of making a big statement; the Berlin youth of today couldn't care less
	On close observation, our mate Ernst looks a bit like "Naš Il'ič" (i.e. Lenin)
	Another way of dealing with the recent past can be seen on Strausberger Platz in Berlin, where stalinist-style buildings have been renovated most admirably
	And this Berlin monument from the times of the workers' and farmers' state also remains a great photo subject
	Saint Thomas' Church in the Berlin neighbourhood of Kreuzberg
	A detail of the huge Soviet war memorial in Treptow park (Berlin)
	The Red Army attacks, as can be seen in Treptow park (Berlin). As envisaged by sculptor Evgenij Vučetič
	One is struggling under Lenin's banner, of course
	The vandalised entrance to the old "apartment building" (i.e. hotel) of the East German council of ministers, at the edge of Niederschönhausen park (Berlin)
	Um Mitternacht sitz' ich im Kino... Ich seh' mir alles an (Neon sign of "Blauer Stern" cinema, in Niederschönhausen, Berlin)
	Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, contemplating the Berlin TV tower
	Part of the railing of the Schloßbrücke, on the east side of Unter den Linden (Berlin)
