> its a pity, i didn't got a more clear foto of the details of the
metal plate on the post in ogrodniki..
I strongly believe that it's a metal plate with a globe with hammer
and sickle superimposed and wheats around it with a ribbon rolled
around them with "workers of the world unite" in 15 languages. As you
have guessed by now it of course is the USSR Coat of Arms.
> can it be, that they differed from soviet-republic to soviet-
republic?
NONONONONONO, how do you, comrade, dear question the homogenity of
Party, Peoples, and only then State, in the unbreakable Union of
freeborn republics??? Do you need some time in GULAG to sober up your
thoughts?!?!
:))
> in this case, there would have been a special soviet-lithuanian
plate on this post.
no way, they even abolished republic-specific birth certificates
after few years. Though it does seem that Soviet border markers do
fall at or very near tripoints of two republics and foreign country
(such as LTPLRU)

after they were changed to Russian?
They have done nothing to the markers other than taken off the metal
soviet hammers and sickles and screwed on ALUMINUM Russian Federation
eagles with NO COUNTRY NAME.
see on Jan's site at
http://home.no.net/enklaver/borders/ltplru/ltplru_russian_bm.htm
Also use Chris' photos and Jan's site to compare the exact same one
marker at Budzisko/Kalvarija crossing. Unbelievable changes! It was
on the side of the road and now it is in the median! LTPL crossings
are interesting in that the different sides of the road are in
deifferent countries at the same spot in the road for a stretch.
Anyway, Chris, thatk you for these extremely interesting pictures!
Did you take them yourself??
