| I admired what the authorities in Budapest did after their freedom from the Soviet Union. They did not want all the communist “art” to remain in the city. It was public art of oppression: statues of Lenin and Stalin, red stars, statues of heroic communist army deeds. Budapest was free of the soviet control and wanted to be free of the symbols of that control. But they did it destroy all these works. They set them up on display in a park just outside the city. It’s now a tourist attraction and a reminder of a different era. |
