Stalin is my BFF: Statue Park (Hungary)

Posted on 03 May 2009 by megancriley

Where did all the communist tributes to the masters and people of the Soviet Empire go after the wall? Statue Park outside of Budapest, of course. This is a treasure trove of Communism past. You can see all the movers and shakers of a fallen era, including the ubiquitous Stalin and Lenin. Don’t forget to snap a picture of you in a Trabant and visit the gift shop before leaving. I picked up a coffee cup with the immortal and very accurate words:
Wake Up! Drink Coffee! Work for State!

Hip hip horray for oppression


Yipee, Communism is the Super

Yippee, Communism is Super!

Raise your hands if you love Communism

Raise your hands if you love Communism

Lenin, such a dreamboat

Reach for Big Brothers loving embrace

Statue Park, or Szobor Park

Direct bus line to Memento Park from downtown every day. The bus leaves from Deák Square (Deák tér – Metro N°1,2,3), from the bus stop distinguished by the Memento Park-timetable.
