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.
