Jubilant Red Army soldier, liberating occupied Europe. I’ve got no doubt that the individual soldiers saw it this way after the horrendous suffering and sacrifice his people had gone through. How did the liberated peoples feel? Change from brown terror to red terror? I’m happy I did not have to live through these times. The statue stands in Memento Park, Budapest.

Indeed
Liberation is always something to celebrate! For anyone, for any generation! Nice capture!
Indeed it is, but liberation can be a double edged sword. What if the liberators also prove to oppressors?
A wonderful shot, I love the angle you chose. I just simply despair of man and war. It would seem there’s something dark in the depths of human beings that will never ever change, or learn.
Alas, I believe you are right.
