Expo 2010
On Saturday, Worker and Kolkhoznitsa, a giant statue of Soviet times, was returned to a pedestal in Moscow, Russia. It was done after a long five-year restoration process since the monument was dismantled in 2003. The statue was initially expected to return in 2005, but when the 
 was awarded to Shanghai instead of Moscow the restoration process was stalled due to a shortage of funds.
