Even in the toilets of the Museum of Communism was much to be learnt and read.
And of course, me with my photography-mania, I always have the camera ready... even in the toilet~ : )

I do believe in the same things as these following pics.

Museum of Communism V

The long struggle and triumh over Communism costs many lives and youths... but in the end the people's desire for freedom succeded.

Havel was a democracy activist whose tireless efforts against the communist regime finally succeeded in its overthrow, and he later became the first democratically elected president of the Czech Republic.

Museum of Communism IV

Replica of an interrogation room.
In Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, millions were interned, interrogated and tortured, or sent to prison camps or to their deaths.
This was supposed to keep social order and maintain the great strides of socialist construction.

Fear!!!

A wonderful quote from Stalin himself.

"One death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic."

Museum of Communism III

Posters depicting the evils of capitalism and greats of communism.
It was a clash of ideology

Museum of Communism II

People are so happy and cheerful under communism!!!

Museum of Communism

A great museum showcasing the goods and bads of the communist era and ideology.
The museum is located next to a McDonalds and on the same floor as a casino.
The irony.
