Soviet Bullet-holes

Restored Reichstag. 28 Juillet.
The Reichstag remains riddled with bullets. This contemporary government building, in the condition of the war-torn, burning capital.

But the bullet holes are patched over.

But not simply filled in with paving. Instead, delicately excavated and refilled with quadrangular fillings.

Disorder re-ordered? Scars healed or only bandaged?

Why did they choose to do it quite this way, just this funny way, with concrete that does not match?
