  6. Russia’s on my list of travel destinations, but haven’t been there yet.  Remembered the image of the monument from some long-forgotten source and just tied it to that shadow.  I did have to do some digging to get the exact name and location, then confirmed that view on Google Maps.  Didn’t think a guess of ‘some big monument in Russia’ would suffice.
