Iconostasis Rock

The Iconostasis Rock is a basalt slab with a size of 50-60 meters. In the upper part of the rock the profile of Lenin has been drawn. This Soviet time monument has an interesting history: after the war a teacher from the village spent several months hanging on a cradle painting on the rock. He painted the portrait of Lenin and Stalin. However since then Stalin's portrait has been erased by some anonymous people and only Lenin's face as well as his slogan remain. Many years later tourists still come to look at the rock calling it an iconostasis of a past time.
