The Mandela Way T-34 Tank is located on a small piece of scrubland on the corner of Mandela Way and Pages Walk in Bermondsey, London. The tank is a decommissioned Soviet T-34-85 battle tank. It is a former Czech army tank that was used in the filming of ''Richard III'' (1995). It was bought in 1995 by Russell Gray, who lives nearby, for £7,000 then installed in its current location.〔(Mandela Way T-34 Tank ), Sean Spurr, Bermondsey.org, Accessed 5 August 2012〕 The tank was the subject of a work by Cubitt Artists and Aleksandra Mir who painted it pink in 2002. It has since been repainted by artists (and also graffitied) many times. In 2009 a company called Graffiti4hire transformed the tank's livery into that of a yellow cab. it is painted with yellow and black stripes with a Remembrance poppy design on the turret.

The Monument to Soviet tank crews was a memorial located in Prague made up of an IS-2m tank on a pedestal. In 1991 artist David Cerny painted the tank pink and hoisted a large middle finger over the turret to protest the controversial monument. The monument was later removed and the tank is now stored at a military museum, painted pink. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mandela Way T-34 Tank」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
