When and where was the photo taken. Why did it become famous?

10K.

It was the Russian answer to the Gavin M113 and Axel had an erection that lasted for more than 4 hours. Did he call his doctor?

Warsaw 1981?

It was the Russian answer to the Gavin M113

The M113 Armored Personnel Carrier is not now and has never been, either officially or unofficially, called the M113 Gavin

;


The manufacturer does not call the M113 the Gavin.
The soldiers who ride to war in them don�t call them the M113 Gavin.
The U.S. military does not call the M113 the Gavin
No military anywhere calls it the M113 Gavin.

Why did the photo become famous

The photo became famous because of its meaning:

it depicts one of thefirst days of the Martial Law declared by the junta of gen. Jaruzelski. soldiers and an infantry carrier stand in the street, and above them, the slogan reads: 'Czas Apokalipsy" (Apocalypse Now!), the name of the cinema is "Moskwa"- in Polish, "Moscow".

10 Ks to Monkeyboot, thanks for playing.

By the way, the street's name is not Marszalkowska, but Pulawska. The building in the photo does not exist anymore- it has been replaced with an office building in the mid-90s. The only remaining element left after the old cinema are the statues of lions, which currently stand in front of the new building.

What was the rate of suicide in Poland at this time? No. Truly. It's a sexy city!

I bet you them all by their names, don't you?

Thanks for the game.

Just this last week one of the radio guys that I listen to was talking about Lech Walesa, can't really remember exactly what they said, though.

I just have to listen them speaking loudly and to recognize their accent when they ask me for money.
