Opposition protesters destroy a bunker installed as an artwork near the Interior ministry during a rally organized by the opposition Democratic Party to demand the resignation of the government, in Tirana, on December 8, 2015, on the day that marks the 25th anniversary of the student protests that led to the toppling of the last communist regime in Europe in 1990.
The bunker bears a striking resemblance to the 700,000 circular bunkers built across Albania during the 40-year rule of dictator Enver Hoxha, who feared attacks from both the Soviet Union and the West. That history has left some people concerned that the new addition is a reflection of growing nostalgia for the communist era. (Photo by Gent Shkullaku/AFP Photo)
