A boy looks at the graffiti carved by Soviet soldiers in 1945 and 1968 in the sandstone rocks in the forest outside the village of Zelizy in Central Bohemia, Czech Republic. Russian inscriptions under the pentagram mean: USSR 1945. Obviously the graffiti were carved by Red Army soldiers in the last days of the Second World War in 1945 and then by Soviet Army soldiers after the 1968 Soviet invasion in Czechoslovakia. The graffiti are located next to the complex of sculptural works known as the Harfenice (Harpist) created by Czech sculptor Vaclav Levy in the 1840s.
