<p>The 'Friendship of Nations' fountain at Moscow's impressive VDNH grounds. Each golden statue represents one of the former republics in the Soviet Union. <br /></p> <p>The fountain is one of several standout attractions at the Soviet-era Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy (Выставка достижений народного хозяйства, abbreviated to ВДНХ, and translated to VDNH).</p><p>While I went with the colour version of this shot, the black and white brings out some interesting details (see below).</p>
