Riga – Uzvaras Piemineklis (Victory Memorial to Soviets) – Demolished

Riga August 25, 2022 admin

20181002_150430

And as I wrote about a few days ago….. It has now been demolished (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/25/latvia-topples-soviet-era-obelisk-amid-backlash-against-russia). I’m quite pleased to have seen it standing, but its demolition was perhaps always inevitable.

This site is the ‘fascinating’ (OK, it’s not that fascinating I admit) story of my travels around the world over the last few years. I’m conscious that there is so much more to visit, and I’ll do my best to carry on travelling as much as I can. I wouldn’t take anything too seriously, because I’ve rarely managed to…..

For previous adventures, here’s 2013-2018 and also 2019.
