MIRFI,you doing good job,but a tank in middle of field is nonsense,explain that to me

Well, the Russian crew celebrated the end of WWII and when, after 3 months, they sobered up, they realised they'd left their tank in Romania... something like that.

Their forgot the tank in 1945 and now they can't get it back after 70 years

Thanks, mates!

Well, about the tank.. First of all it was located in Moldova, which was part of the Soviet Union until early 90's. Soviets had a very strange habit of exibiting old military equipment like tanks, fighter planes in their cities or their countryside. It was a common practice too in other non-soviet communist countries (Romania, Bulgaria etc.).

You can see WW2 being exhibited publicly in a lot of places, like Normandy and the Ardennes. They often serve as some kind of memorial for the heavy fighting that has occured or other events involving force/tanks. In this case, an old Soviet Tank in a square in Moldova could reflect to the Soviet oppression that has lasted for nearly half a century

During soviet times there was a tank next to a roundabout in Kaunas (near VI fort) but they took it when the Soviet army left in 1993 AFAIK.

Looking good, mate!

Is that a statue on the left of the second picture? That looks unbelievable! Well done MIRFI, you've done it again (to quote a part of McCain's motto)!

[MIRFI]

Thank you, mates!

Indeed, a statue representing a soldier. So drivers won't forget they're in former Soviet territory.
