Having
arrived in Stockerau (the railway station closest to the enclave), Chrusov
poses in front of the Soviet monument near the station to enable the visitors
to produce photo-optical records. The monument is bigger than the ones
in Soviet Unterzögerdorf. Unfortunately, due to concrete shortages
no more monuments can be built in the Confederation.
Sarcastically cursing Leopold Figl (Austrian politician 1902-1965; one of the celebrated ‘founders’ of the Second Republic of Austria after World War II who signed the treaty ending Allied occupation and reconstituting Austria’s sovereignty in 1955) and complaining about his country’s financial situation, the Commissar paces back to the bus station.
