The Soviet Army monument vandalized in Sofia,Bulgaria. The Soviet Army monument in Bulgaria`s capital Sofia was ironically decorated to represent US pop culture characters. An unknown street artist painted the bronze figures of Soviet soldiers turning into various characters – including Superman, Santa Claus, Batman`s friend Robin and his adversary the Joker (Batman himself is absent), and McDonalds`s symbol Ronald McDonald, among others. Pictured: soviet soldier of the monument painted as Santa Claus.
