SOVIET MURALS
G'day folks,
In the early nineties, well after the
destruction of the Berlin Wall, did you know there were still over
300,000 Soviet soldiers in Eastern Germany? In 1991, there were still
4,200 Russian tanks, 690 aircrafts, 180 rocket systems and over 200,000
civil employees and relatives of officers, among them about 900,000
children.
Until the final withdrawal in 1994, Russians occupied 777
barracks at more than 275 locations in the territory of the German
Democratic Republic, mostly in the area of today’s Brandenburg. With
numbers like that, there’s no wonder the Soviet footprint in Germany can
still be found by wandering off the beaten path. The footprint
