The problem was that none of the existing maps in this place was not Toured, who was in Andorra. This fact man greatly saddened.

Unknown rebel
One of the main symbols of man's struggle against the system in the XX century — photo taken during the riots in Tiananmen square in June 1989. Unknown rebel for half an hour single-handedly held back a column of tanks. The tank couldn't avoid protesting and stopped.

A secret admirer of Edgar Allan PoE

Each time he leaves at the gravestones 3 red roses and an opened bottle of cognac. It is assumed that the roses symbolize, his wife Virginia and mother-in-law Maria Clemm — they are all buried here. What is the symbolic significance of leaving a bottle of cognac, we can only guess. Sometimes a fan had left a note. Apparently, the founder of the tradition, died in 1998, and since then, in a grave visited by his successor. Nevertheless, several passes of a ritual since 2009, give reason to say that tradition is gone. The names of the fans of the writer remains a mystery.
