Warsaw: Meeting My Brother at the Soviet Cemetery

When my brother Paul came over to Warsaw last month and stayed at the Sound Garden Hotel, we met up at the Soviet Cemetery (near Jeff's Steak House) twice to go and see concerts.

One evening, we walked down through Pole Mokotowskie (Park) to see Cory Henry at the Stodoła, and the next evening, we caught a bus to see Godspeed You! Black Emperor at the Palladium.

The Soviet Cemetery is worth visiting in-itself for the socialist realist art:

Have just read that over 20,000 Soviet soldiers, who died fighting the Germans in Poland during the 2nd World War, lie in their graves in this cemetery:

Have also just read that the Cemetery officially opened in 1950.
