Vladimir Lenin, Bishkek, Krgyzstan

The Lenin Statue in Bishkek was erected in 1984, during the 60th anniversary of the Kyrgyz Soviet Socialist Republic. Shortly after the fall of communism in 1991, all Lenin statues were taken down. However, Bishkek’s Lenin stood in the same square until 2003. This year, the square was going to be renovated to celebrate the 2.200 anniversary of the Kyrgyz statehood. The Lenin statue was then relocated near the Old Square. The reason for the relocation remains unclear. The government’s explanation’s vagueness and inconsistency allowed different interpretations to appear and provoked different reactions. This case analyses the process of contestation that started after the relocation of the Lenin statue.

Along St Andrews' Timeless Shore — EBS 223 — EBS 04

A family strolls quietly along the shoreline while the timeless skyline of St Andrews watches from across the bay. Framed by the cathedral ruins and centuries of history, this fleeting moment becomes part of a much longer story, where everyday memories are made beneath skies that have witnessed generations before.

Frescoes through time in the chapel of Saint Naum

Deep within Saint Naum Monastery, far from the bright shores of Lake Ohrid, lies a quiet chapel where centuries of history are preserved on its walls. Faded frescoes cover the stone surfaces from floor to ceiling, depicting saints, biblical scenes, and fragments of a rich spiritual tradition that has survived for more than a thousand years. The soft light filtering into the chapel reveals the texture of the ancient paintings, worn by time yet still remarkably expressive. Every wall tells a story, while the vaulted ceiling and weathered stone floor create an atmosphere of reflection and reverence. Standing here, surrounded by centuries-old artwork, it is easy to feel connected to the generations of pilgrims who have visited this sacred place. Founded around 900 AD by Saint Naum, the monastery remains one of the most important religious and cultural monuments in North Macedonia. Beyond its beautiful setting on Lake Ohrid, it is these hidden interior spaces that reveal the monastery's true historical and spiritual depth.

Inside Saint Naum Monastery, centuries-old frescoes cover the walls of a small chapel. Time has softened their colors, but the atmosphere of faith, history and devotion remains as powerful as ever.

Diep binnen het klooster van Sint Naum, ver weg van de zonnige oevers van het Meer van Ohrid, bevindt zich een stille kapel waar eeuwen geschiedenis op de muren bewaard zijn gebleven. Vervaagde fresco's bedekken de stenen wanden van vloer tot plafond en tonen heiligen, bijbelse taferelen en sporen van een rijke spirituele traditie die al meer dan duizend jaar voortleeft. Het zachte licht in de kapel onthult de structuur van de eeuwenoude schilderingen, door de tijd aangetast maar nog altijd indrukwekkend aanwezig. Elke muur vertelt een verhaal, terwijl het gewelfde plafond en de versleten stenen vloer een sfeer van bezinning en eerbied oproepen. Omringd door deze oude kunstwerken voel je bijna de aanwezigheid van de generaties pelgrims die deze heilige plek hebben bezocht. Het klooster, gesticht rond het jaar 900 door Sint Naum, behoort nog altijd tot de belangrijkste religieuze en culturele monumenten van Noord-Macedonië. Naast de prachtige ligging aan het Meer van Ohrid zijn het juist deze verborgen ruimtes die de ware historische en spirituele rijkdom van het klooster laten zien.

Berlin - Anhalter Bahnhof

Today, the Anhalter Bahnhof in Berlin is known primarily as a ruin—a striking remnant of what was once a magnificent long-distance railway station. All that remains of the original structure are the portal arches that once framed the station entrance. Today, these ruins stand as a powerful symbol of Berlin's history, particularly the destruction wrought by the Second World War and the division of the city.
