23. October – 5. November 2022. Serbia (\u0421\u0440\u0431\u0438\u0458\u0430) \ud83c\uddf7\ud83c\uddf8 This “4th chapter” video presents the second half of my 10-day Autumn round-trip drive from Vr\u0161ac around the most beautiful parts of Serbia for 1,117 miles (1,978 km) looking for Yugoslav-era spomeniks (monuments). I found (26) of them. The spomeniks are mainly World War II memorial sculptures that were part of a grand project of Tito’s to unify socialist Yugoslavia in the aftermath of the NOB. Estimates put the number of such spomeniks built at up to 40,000. These communist works of art are unique and beautiful and often abandoned.<\/p>\n
