Monuments are the questionable question marks of history, because most people ask: 'Who was that anyway?' (Erhard Blanck)

We have no idea whom or what all these statues are dedicated to, but there is no shortage of them in Katharinenburg.

A visit to the Yeltsin Center is on the agenda for tomorrow before we head east again in the evening.

We are now going to take a cold shower and go to bed. YES, hot water is out until 21.08 - probably 2018, because yesterday they said there would be hot water again today... You can't expect hot water in a three-star hotel either.
