Stalin World: The Strangest Theme Park In The World?
Welcome to Stalin World.
Tourists are seen touring the statues in Park Grutas - known colloquially as "Stalin World" - in the south of Lithuania.
The park features statues and other relics of the Russian occupation of the country that, according to the park, lays bare "the naked Soviet ideology which suppressed and hurt the spirit of our nation for many decades".
After Lithuania regained its independence in 1990 dozens of Soviet statues were taken down and dumped.
Local entrepreneur Viliumas Malinauskas peitioned the Lithuanian authorities to grant him the possession of these sculptures so that he could build a privately financed museum.
His aim was a controversial one but, despite fierce opposition from some, Park Grutas opened in 2001.
Since then it has faced a number legal difficulties, including a challenge from seven of the sculptors who claimed rights to 6% of the park's profits.
Viliamus called the claim "absurd" and later dumped the artists' sculptures outside the park, inviting the group to come and collect them.
Alongside the sculptures Park Grutas also boasts a Soviet-era playground, a restaurant serving Soviet-era dishes and a zoo.

The Saatchi Gallery opening with 'The Revolution Continues: New Art From China' exhibition, London, Britain - 06 Oct 2008
CHINESE REVOLUTION AT SAATCHI RE-OPENING
China is leading the way once again at the re-opening of London's giant Saatchi Gallery.
After a three-year closure the gallery has re-opened its doors in a new venue with the inaugural exhibition "The Revolution Continues: New Art From China".
Featuring some 30 of China's leading young artists, the show promises to be a "cutting edge survey of recent painting, sculpture and installation."
The Gallery was evicted from its original home at the County Hall on London's Southbank in 2005 after a row with the building's owners.
Now found at the Duke of York Headquarters building in Chelsea the Gallery has 70,000 square feet (6,500 square metres) of floor space to play with.
Due to this, it claims to be the only free entry contemporary art museum of its size in the world.
One of the more unusual exhibits on display in its opening exhibition is "Old Persons' Home" by Sun Yuan and Peng Yu. This satirical work features wheel-chair bound models of old people, many of whom bear some resemblance to world leaders, trundling aimlessly round the space they inhabit.
In another room sits a huge pile of fake excrement that contains hundreds of toy soldiers. By Liu Wei, "Indigestion II" has been described as "a man-sized statement of rejection... leaving no detail to the imagination".
Another of the artist's works is "Lo...
