The roadside cross in the first picture is in the United States (Bladensburg, Maryland). It is a memorial to Americans who died in World War I. The roadside cross in the second picture is in the Russian Federation (Yekaterinburg, Sverdlovskaya). It is a memorial to Russian GULAG victims who died in Stalin's purges.
One of these memorials has been declared illegal by the government, and now must be torn down.
If you think that the illegal cross must be the one in Russia, you would be wrong. The American cross is illegal; the Russian cross is legal. The iconoclastic federal judges who ruled the nearly century-old memorial unconstitutional were overwhelmingly Obama-appointees.
It looks like we Americans are, in the words of the Beatles' song, "Back in the US, back in the US, back in the USSR."
