But...<br/>
<br/>
A &quot;Kurgan druzby&quot; can be found at BYLVRU and at BYRUUA. Maybe there <br/>

I have the impression that these big Soviet monuments were really for <br/>
ceremonial purposes, and don&#39;t have to be exactly on the tripoint <br/>

mound of friendship wasn&#39;t on the tripoint because that tripoint is <br/>
wet. So the mound was set up north of the tripoint, and, <br/>
consequently, the tripoint itself was moved to the mound! See the <br/>
