Part of the enormous mural on the roof of the State History Museum (formerly Lenin Museum), Bishkek (formerly Frunze), Kyrgyzstan (formerly Kyrgyz SSR)

There was also a really very striking mural of Mother Russia (wielding a sword with the gold star on the pommel) defeating a Nazi warrior in an iron-horned helmet riding a huge bull with a garland of skulls and wielding a sword with the swastika on the pommel, but it took up so much of the ceiling that I couldn't get a photo that wasn't horribly foreshortened.
