Vladimir Iljitš Lenin

Vladimir Iljitš Lenin
We have something very unique and rare here at Tampere, and that is Lenin Museum:

lenin.fi/?page_id=151&lang=en

One funny story I learned there is how V.I. Lenin went to local market place to eat black sausage (blood sausage), and it is claimed he said: "People who make such delicacy deserves to get independency!" Well, this story is maybe not entirely true, but I guess the support Lenin received from some Finnish individuals made him personally favorable to give recognition of independency to Finland:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_of_Finland#International_recognition

So, we Finns must say Lenin was a very important person to us =D

Collage made with Collage Maker Android application, and that is why there is no EXIF. All pictures taken on Saturday August 11, 2018. Permission to take pictures inside the museum was given by personnel.

Annemarie, Gillian Everett, Fred Fouarge, Pam J and 17 other people have particularly liked this photo

I have heard the same. At that can be applied to archiving and museums. We tend to keep and save only what the majority and those in power finds interesting and worth to save.

Another option is to build something so massive that the next generations finds it too troublesome to remove ;-) Unfortunately also means to remove things have become more effective...

There was also other things to see, fortunately =D So, today it is more like a museum of Soviet era. One funny thing was an ancient computer with ascii tetris.

Thank you for very nice compliment, Stevia. That indeed is what I am trying to do these days. to go out from my comfort zone. And it indeed is what I can recommend to everyone else: try to learn and know your subject.
