The Monument.
The monument of Christ the King of the Universe in Świebodzin (Poland) is 36 metres (118 ft) tall. The figure itself measures 33 metres (108 ft), which symbolically represents the age of Christ who, according to Christians, was 33 years old when he died at the cross. The remaining 3 metres (9.8 ft) are completed by a crown which is also a symbol – it signifies 3 years of the activity of Jesus as an earthly teacher. The whole statue is standing on top of a 16.5 metre (54 ft) mound.
The monument is located at the town’s exit road, right next to the Warsaw – Berlin motorway. Having been built for 10 years, under the supervision of its originator, father Sylwester Zawadzki, it was officially consecrated on 21st November, 2010.
The idea of the monument falls into the striving of a small group of Polish Catholics to enthrone Jesus Christ as king of Poland. They believe that it would renew the religious cult in the country and thus help improve the difficult situation that, as they see it, Poland found itself in. The Church, in its official statements, expresses criticism towards this initiative. The construction itself, as well as the fact of raising such monuments to Jesus, were the reasons for a debate inside the Church.

NEW CITY
Yangiabad (in Uzbek: New City/ New Construction) was built by the Soviets in the 50’s of the 20th century for the uranium mine workers and their families. At that time Uzbekistan was one of the main uranium raw material bases for the Soviet Union. Uranium ore was pivotal in a future arms race during the cold war.
Yangiabad was a closed city with a strictly limited access. Managed and supplied with the best goods directly from Moscow. Despite of the hard and dangerous work, the people lived there a good life, the miners and engineers were paid very well compared to other workers in Uzbekistan. During the years of exploration 64 mines were developed.
The uranium mines were definitely closed in the late 80’s officially because there was nothing more to mine for. But most likely the main reason were: to high mining costs and worse quality than, for example the ore from Uchkuduk.
More than 25 years after the city has still the problem with radioactive waste from the uranium mines. The Kattasay stream which goes through the city, according to scientific analysis is contaminated with radioactive waste.
Now not more than 280 inhabitants still live in the town. Nowadays Yangiabad is changing its character to a recreational zone. During the summer time, many people from the Tashkent area are coming to Yangiabad, where it’s easy to rent an empty flat.

During the years of exploration 64 mines were developed.
The uranium mines were definitely closed in the late 80’s officially because there was nothing more to mine for. But most likely the main reason were: to high mining costs and worse quality than, for example the ore from Uchkuduk.
More than 25 years after the city has still the problem with radioactive waste from the uranium mines. The Kattasay stream which goes through the city, according to scientific analysis is contaminated with radioactive waste.
Now not more than 280 inhabitants still live in the town. Nowadays Yangiabad is changing its character to a recreational zone. During the summer time, many people from the Tashkent area are coming to Yangiabad, where it’s easy to rent an empty flat.
NEW CITY
Yangiabad (in Uzbek: New City/ New Construction) was built by the Soviets in the 50’s of the 20th century for the uranium mine workers and their families. At that time Uzbekistan was one of the main uranium raw material bases for the Soviet Union. Uranium ore was pivotal in a future arms race during the cold war.
Yangiabad was a closed city with a strictly limited access. Managed and supplied with the best goods directly from Moscow. Despite of the hard and dangerous work, the people lived there a good life, the miners and engineers were paid very well compared to other workers in Uzbekistan. During the years of exploration 64 mines were developed.

The Castle.
The prison in Kalisz - Poland (called Castle because of its architecture) was build in 1846. Through out its existence the building housed a prison and it was used by six different political systems and regimes including Russian Empire (till 1916), German Reich (till 1918), Second Polish Republic (till 1939), Nazi Germany (till 1945), Polish People’s Republic (till 1989 including Stalinist era between 1948-56) and democratic Poland (till 2015).
The main building where the convicted carried a prison sentence did not undergo major changes form the day when it was opened. The doors in cells remained the same for the whole time.
On the 30th of November 2015 according to the decision of Minister of Justice of Poland the prison was closed and the building handed over to the city of Kalisz. The building remains empty.
