If you’re ever in the Tampa, FL area, take a couple of hours to visit the S.S. American Victory. Built in 55 days and launched in 1945, she hauled military cargo to the Philippines and China during WWII, and also served in Korea and Vietnam. She’s a floating museum and training ship for first responders now. The American Victory is one of three remaining Victory ships. Well worth the time!
What if U.S. invaded Soviet Union?

It would be amusing to see a Photoshopped picture of New York City in which the Statue of Liberty was replaced by the famous “Motherland” statue at the site of the Battle of Stalingrad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Motherland_Calls).

Kapital Street (Wall Street)
I imagine the occupying Russians would replace capitalism with communism, and thus would convert the New York Stock Exchange into some sort of People’s Museum, but they could still use your name proposal by either calling it Das Kapital Street (in reference to the book by Marx) – or maybe Berlin Wall Street, if they prefer using the Wall part.

Mount Russiamore.
With the four Presidents re-sculpted to look like Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin, of course.

@aequitas:
and of course the Pentagon would more likley look like a hammer and crescent building
Or like a Soviet-style five-pointed star, which would be an homage to the Pentagon’s five-sided design.
