Monumental leather
Andrey Nikolayevich Tolstoy will probably always be remembered as the guy in leather: he has been depicted in one-to-one scale wearing a long leather coat in his tombstone in Tolyatti, Russia.
According to the article “The world’s tackiest tombstones“, thousands of gangsters died in criminal wars that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union and it is easy to find grandiose tombstones commemorating them in Russia, Ukraine and other former Soviet republics.
Well, yes, it’s ridiculously tacky. Lovely coat, though.

Mahtava ainakin kokonsa puolesta. Muusta mahtavuudesta en ole aivan vakuuttunut, heh!
