Love these photos of monuments in the former Yugoslavia, commissioned in the 60s and 70s, but even more than that, I love that they’re all REAL.
These structures were commissioned by former Yugoslavian president Josip Broz Tito in the 1960s and 70s to commemorate sites where WWII battles took place, or where concentration camps stood. They were designed by different sculptors and architects, conveying powerful visual impact to show the confidence and strength of the Socialist Republic. After the Republic dissolved in early 1990s, they were completely abandoned, and their symbolic meanings were forever lost. – Crack Two
