Reagan just got a statue in Germany to mark 30 years since the Berlin Wall fell. Here are 15 other unexpected places where statues of US presidents can be found.
[late US President Ronald Reagan during a centennial commemoration in Budapest, Hungary, Wednesday, June 29, 2011.]Bela Szandelszky / AP * THE CZECH REPUBLIC, FRANCE, GERMANY, GREECE, HUNGARY, PARAGUAY, POLAND, RUSSIA, AND THE UNITED KINGDOM ALL HAVE FORMER US PRESIDENTS MEMORIALIZED AS STATUES. * ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND RONALD REAGAN APPEAR THE MOST. * BUT GEORGE WASHINGTON, DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, RUTHERFORD B. HAYES, THOMAS JEFFERSON, WOODROW WILSON, HARRY TRUMAN, GEORGE W. BUSH, AND BILL CLINTON ARE ALSO ALL REMEMBERED. * CHINA, FOR A WHILE, EVEN HAD A STATUE OF BARACK OBAMA THAT BURST INTO FLAMES — AS A COMPLIMENT. * VISIT BUSINESS INSIDER'S HOMEPAGE FOR MORE STORIES. After their terms are up, some US presidents live on in bronze far from their homeland. Memorialized and often built larger-than-life, governments use the statues to remind citizens of the past, to strengthen political ties, or to celebrate the former US leaders for what they did during their terms. Alternatively, at times of protest, they can be a tool for sending a message. One president's statue was even bombed by protesters. The Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Paraguay, Poland, Russia, and the United Kingdom all have former US presidents memorialized as statues. For a while, China even had a Barack Obama statue that burst into flames, because he was "so hot" at the time. Here's where some former US presidents, cast in bronze, are scattered around the world. ABRAHAM LINCOLN HAS A STATUE IN MEXICO CITY, MEXICO. Wikimedia Lincoln's statue was gifted to Mexico by the US government. Former President Lyndon Johnson commissioned it in 1964 to help relations between the two countries. There are also Lincoln statues in three other Mexican cities, including Tijuana. Lincoln is liked in Mexico, due to his stance against both the Mexican war and slavery, as well as his support for former-Mexican President Benito Juarez. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN HAS A STATUE IN PARIS, FRANCE. Bernard Charlon / Gamma-rapho / Getty Franklin's bronze statue in Paris was gifted to France in 1906 by the New England Society. It was a replica based on a sculpture of Franklin by John J. Boyle, which was built for Philadelphia. Franklin lived in Paris for more than seven years. He was the first US ambassador to France. THOMAS JEFFERSON ALSO HAS A STATUE IN PARIS. Joel Saget / AFP / Getty Jefferson's 10-foot bronze statue was unveiled on the Seine, on July 4, 2006. He stands holding a quill and a drawing. French artist Jean Cardot made the sculpture, and it was donated to France by the Florence Gould Foundation. Before he was the United States' third president, Jefferson was the first minister to France in 1785. SEE THE REST OF THE STORY AT BUSINESS INSIDER SEE ALSO: * 21 stunning photos from the night the Berlin Wall came tumbling down 30 years ago * How Elizabeth Warren rose from a nearly broke Midwestern upbringing to a top Democratic presidential candidate — and Wall Street's worst enemy * Here's everyone who's running for president in 2020, and who has quit the race SEE ALSO: WISE QUOTES ON LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS FROM EVERY US PRESIDENT DON'T MISS: HERE'S WHAT EVERY PRESIDENT'S SIGNATURE LOOKS LIKE

Bulgaria wants Putin to apologize
Bulgaria believes that Moscow's actions to reward a "spy" and its vague requirement to leave the spy alone were humiliating for Sofia. In fact, the Kremlin gently advised Bulgaria to behave and not to prosecute "the good guy" for his beliefs.Bulgaria should keep an arms length from MalinovOn November 4, when Russia was celebrating the Day of National Unity, President Putin awarded the Order of Friendship to Nikolai Malinov, the chairman of the National Movement of Russophiles in Bulgaria. The news caused quite a stir in Bulgarian media. Malinov was detained in Bulgaria in early September for "espionage" in Russia's favor, but was then released under house arrest. Mlinov is accused of transferring the assets of bankrupt Bulgarian companies Vivacom, Dunarit-Rousse and Avionams-Plovdiv, as well as TV7 and BBT to Russian companies, allegedly not to let the Bulgarians get hold of those assets. His guilt is yet to be established, but Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov said that one should not mix the spy scandal with state-to-state relations with Moscow. Borisov noted that all non-governmental organizations, to which the Russophiles belong, have the right to work in Bulgaria. Borisov's opponents found remarks from Putin's official spokesman Dmitry Peskov about the decoration of Nikolai Malinov outrageous. "We believe that such a gesture to recognize Malinov's merits in terms of his contribution to the unity of Russia, the unity of the Russian world, contribution to the development of friendship and cooperation between our countries should not be used as a reason for any sort of persecution. It would be illogical and would have detrimental consequences. We hope that a person like him will be able to continue working for the purpose of the development of relations between our countries," Peskov said.Bulgaria wants Putin to apologizeOn Wednesday, Democratic Bulgaria Party (represented by one MP in the European Parliament) demanded in its appeal Prime Minister Borisov and President Rumen Radev should condemn Moscow's pressure. The statement said that Russia views Bulgaria as part of the "Russian world", as part of the "Russian Federation," and Malinov's decoration on the Day of National Unity of Russia was no coincidence."We at Democratic Bulgaria see these events as an act of unprecedented interference in the internal affairs of the state. We find the Kremlin's mentoring tone unacceptable for international relations, and we affirm that the Bulgarian authorities actually stay under the pressure of Putin and his government. We urge the Bulgarian government in the person of the Prime Minister Minister Borisov and President Radev to clearly and unequivocally condemn Russia's gross interference in Bulgaria's internal affairs and its judiciary system. Borisov and Rudev must withdraw their invitation to the Russian leader to visit our country, and it is time for Russia to understand that Bulgaria is a sovereign state, a member of the European Union and NATO, rather than a part of either the Russian world or the Russian Federation," the statement reads. How the reward found its heroIt is worthy of note that the judicial authorities of Bulgaria lifted the restriction for traveling abroad from Nikolai Malinov for the period from November 1 to 5, so that he could take part in the events of the Russkiy Mir Foundation and the International Slavic Union. In other words, it was the Bulgarians, who let the reward find its hero. Boyko Noev, former Defense Minister of Bulgaria wrote in an article for Mediapool.bg under the headline "Moscow ridicules Sofia" that the Bulgarian authorities, including the Office of the Prosecutor General and Prime Minister Borisov, did not investigate the poisoning of Bulgarian citizen Gebrev with Novichok nerve agent, because the traces of the crime were going straight to the top administration. According to him, Bulgaria has returned to the gas map of Europe through its participation in the Turkish Stream project, which Borisov referred to as "the Balkan Stream" on his territory. The author complains that Europe's gas map is actually Gazprom's map. He then proceeded to criticizing the project for the construction of Belene nuclear power plant, which is going to be built in Bulgaria with the help of the Russian Federal Agency for Atomic Power (Rosatom). Russia has no borders - it has horizonsSo what did you expect, gentlemen? When you obtain preferences and subsidies from the EU and the USA, it mans that you are supposed to run friendly and loyal policies. Greece wanted to become a part of the "Balkan Stream." Former Prime Minister of Greece, Alexis Tsipras, had talked to Putin in person about such an opportunity, but the choice fell on Bulgaria, largely owing to Borisov's pragmatic position.Why don't you thank Borisov instead of attacking him? Bulgaria will have billions of levs of profit from transit of natural gas, while people will get jobs even in most depressive areas of the country. Yet, Sofia's policy to Russia has not been friendly recently. Bulgaria has expelled a Russian diplomat, did not approve a new military attaché in Sofia, criticizes the Red Army indicating that it had brought "repression, oppression of civic consciousness, distortion of economic development, and distanced Bulgaria from dynamics processes in developed European countries."The WWII subject is in Russia's DNA, and distorting WWII history implies clear disrespect for the Russians. So what can you expect in return? You need to learn to behave, as the Kremlin pointed out to you.
