Reichstag GraffitiIn the Reichstag the walls speak - covered with Russian graffiti, written by thousands of victorious Soviet soldiers in 1945. Hidden for thirty years, the graffiti were rediscovered by Norman Foster and his team when they began work on the building in 1995. This important new book offers a graphic survey of the graffiti, which allows them to be made accessible and understandable to a wider public for the first time. Published at a time when there are calls from some quarters for the inscriptions to be eradicated, it offers an important visual and historical record.
