A woman walks past a monument of the Soviet Army in central Sofia June 17, 2011. The figures of the Soviet soldiers at the base of the monument have been painted by an unknown artist to resemble U.S. comic book heroes and characters from popular culture like Santa Claus and Ronald McDonald, the mascot of fast-food chain giant McDonald’s.
