SOFIA: A man takes pictures of figures of a Bulgarian communist-era monument painted in the colours of the Ukranian and Polish flags by unknown people in Sofia March 5, 2014. The monument was painted overnight in Ukrainian and Polish national flag colours together with texts reading “Katyn 5.03.1940”, “Crimea 2014” and “Putin go home!” as what appears to be an artistic condemnation of the Russian stance towards Ukraine. Also a reminiscence of the Katyn massacre where on March 5, 1940 thousands of Polish officers, taken as war prisoners, were killed by the Soviet secret police. (REUTERS/Stoyan Nenov)
