According to a report by the Moscow Times, pranksters in Bulgaria are repainting Soviet-era monuments so that Soviet military heroes look like American Superheroes. Needless to say, the Russians are not too happy about it:
Russia is demanding that Bulgaria try harder to prevent vandalism of Soviet monuments, after yet another monument to Soviet troops in Sofia was spray-painted, ITAR-Tass reported.
The Russian Embassy in Bulgaria has issued a note demanding that its former Soviet-era ally clean up the monument in Sofia’s Lozenets district, identify and punish those responsible, and take “exhaustive measures” to prevent similar attacks in the future, the news agency reported Monday.
The monument was sprayed with red paint on the eve of the Bulgarian Socialist Party’s celebration of its 123rd anniversary, the Sofia-based Novinite news agency reported.
The vandalism was the latest in a series of similar recent incidents in Bulgaria — each drawing angry criticism from Moscow…

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel You may appreciate this: When I was in SAC crews would have to certify a wartime mission annually to the wing commander including what they would do in the event of equipment failure. One crew always studied target area photos looking for statues, pick one and determine heading and time to target. The radar briefed that they would find the statue of Stalin because every town had one, overfly it on heading of xxx and release bomb xx seconds later!

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - Sounds Like a Good Back Up System. Probably Better than Using Loran-C.

Not sure how I feel about Roland McDonald being a "superhero," though I guess the Ronald McDonald Houses have a noble vision. At least Santa Clause does something great. Joker is obviously a "Super Villain," or at best an "Antihero."
