Bratislava, Slovakia: Memorial to Soviet Fleet

It's a little odd to visit a former Soviet bloc country, like Bratislava. The history is a little different than on the other side of the now-imaginary line.That's reflected in the public monuments.

This group of boulders is actually a tribute to the Soviet Danube fleet. Did you know that existed? Me neither.

In any event, I did find a translation for what was on the rock. Here it is:

FOR ETERNAL //
SIGHT //
SEAMEN //
SOVIET DANUBE //
FLEET //
WHO WITH THE TROOPS //
THE SOVIET ARMY //
LIBERATED //
4 April 1945 Bratislava //
