Banks of Praga

This video shows glimpses of the new Warsaw across the river Vistula, with its reconstructed Old Town.  We also see glimpses of a forgotten city, Praga, and its equally forgotten monument to the Polish People's Army. Commissioned and erected by General Jaruzelski in 1985, this monument observes the Polish People’s Army’s inability to help their countrymen in the Warsaw uprising, as the troops were under Stalin’s control.  Only a few hundred meters away is Stalin’s former Secret Service quarters.
