Our next stop - lock Sesilienhof . I must say, last year I stayed in St. Petersburg on the Neva and hotelsNorth capital of a pleasant surprise to their attire is not worse than this amazing German castle.

Heirs subjects Generalisimusa Joseph Stalin now send him greetings on the light. They did so through the famous Potsdam palace Sesilienhof. This is the same, where in July-August 1945 Soviet leader Stalin, together with U.S. President Truman and Prime Minister of Great Britain, Churchill had a post-war conference that discussed the new world order, which was to occur after the Second World War.

lock this one in its time was built for the Crown. The court architect built it in the style of British Overseas palaces. Construction oboschlos 8 million gold marks. Before World War I it had settled with his family Crown Prince von Hohenzollern Vingelm. after the autumn revolution of 1918, the castle was nationalized, but in 1926 again returned to the Hohenzollern. Here they lived until March 1945, and before the arrival of Soviet forces fled to the West, taking with him all the valuables.

tell the truth, I do not quite understand poliikov, because such a beautiful building and the surrounding atmosphere evokes a romantic mood rather than working. In addition to architecture, then you can see the amazing works of garden art. For example, the bushes in the form of any architectural forms - the green square, but it green ball or a triangle. Hard to believe that among such beauty policies endorsed the decision, which effectively continued the division of the world into two parts and was the beginning of the Cold War ".

Traces of the Soviet presence is still preserved here. Naprime, on a bed outside the main entrance with red flowers planted pentagonal star, lined with round blue hydrangeas. The other entrance has two ball with Soviet symbols. Five-pointed star stamped even on sewage manhole.

And hello to Stalin his former subjects pass from the windows of his own cabinet. The fact that the frames on the windows and wooden engravings: "Ryabkov AE 1928 Ural", "Kapitonov Alex", "Kupriyanov, IA 1950". And so forth. But that's nothing. Stalin's fellow compatriots have done little harm. And he caused a much greater error. After the Potsdam Conference began the Cold War. True, other state leaders are also party to it, but I have autographs of their compatriots on the window frames for some reason, did not notice.
