I remember visiting Tbilisi in the early 2010s as a volunteer English teacher and being greeted with this stupid sign as we left the airport.

What other out of place, inappropriate, boot-licking or jusr plain dumb American or other Anglo landmarks come to mind for you?

[especially when they replace the much cooler names given by the indigenous/native peoples of the area]

but how much clean power does this street generate by making stalin spin in his grave?

Unfortunately, they aren't using his spinning body to generate power. They instead decided to attach a guitar pick to a pole affixed to his head, and have used that to play "Misirlou" on loop for years on end.
