Eeyore's not-so-gloomy place

Article Abstract:

Donkeys get on very well with humans, and can prove very tolerant and loyal. These characteristics mean that they are often exploited. Some of the donkeys which have fallen victim to human cruelty are now being cared for at The Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth, England. There are more than 6,000 donkeys at this site, and the sanctuary also helps to care for many more donkeys abroad. It attracts many visitors, and also plays a vital educational role.

Care and treatment, Donkeys

Stalin founded the All-Russian Academy of Architecture in 1934 and encouraged monumental projects often constructed by forced labour with basic tools. Stalin preferred Neo-Classicism to represent 'socialist realist' style.
