It seems that 38 years ago in 1970 some Russian woodcutters decided to create a large tribute to Lenin to mark the centenary of the Communist leader's birth. The tribute can clearly be seen in Google Maps, each letter is nearly 8 meters high and the message stretches for about 600 metres.

hi,
ReplyDeletenice link :)
I've read the news this week and found out that
the message itself and its letters are 38 years old trees planted in 1970! So there were no woodcutters and not a single pine was harmed:)
The guy (yes, they found him) also made another message in this area "USSR 60 years" or in Russian
= CCCP 60 ЛET = This message shoud be now only 26 years old (from 1982) and I couldn't spot it close enough to the centenary message (the pictures in this area are not in high def).
My wife said Wow! when she saw this message in GE :) She's also 38.
Best regards from Moscow, RF
