Victims of Communism Memorial v2

Q197: By the end of 2015, will construction commence on the Victims of Communism Memorial?
Yes: 35%
("Construction" should be construed broadly, to include, for example, decontamination.  The construction does not need to proceed according to the current proposed design or in the current location)

Since my last post, the NCC has compromised somewhat on the design of the proposed Victims of Communism memorial, but decided to allow construction to begin.  Opponents of the memorial have launched a lawsuit, and are seeking to block construction with an injunction (see story here).

At this point, there is not much time left in the summer for construction to start in.  As well. whatever the final result of the opponents' lawsuit, an injunction to stop construction seems reasonably likely to succeed.  Given that, there will probably be no construction before the end of 2015.
