Ostalgia?That's apparently the term used in Germany for those
who are nostalgic for the good old days of East (Ost) Germany. They want to bring back Lenin:
Visitors to Berlin are often disappointed to find very few remnants of the communist era, unlike other cities formerly under the Soviet yoke such as Budapest which has a park to house statues from the period.
Even traces of the Berlin Wall are hard to find. So the decision to resurrect the statue of the founder of the Soviet Union has been welcomed by tourist chiefs.
"It is bound to become an instant tourist attraction," said Gerhard Bucholz, from Berlin Tourism Marketing Ltd.Sounds like a must-see to me!
