@archisteem and team
Something went wrong with the steemitworldmap tagging, there should be some escape code sequence in front of it - [//]:# - and then paranthesis around the coding.
I think I've seen the pedestal with one tank on it.
I believe there is quite some pride in St.Petersburg that they got through the long-lasting siege without chopping down all the urban trees - even as people were dying from the cold.
I'll check)
