I was actually surprised that there were still statues of Lenin around after the fall of the Soviet block.
The communist party is still an active part of the Ukrainian government, last I check.
That may be true, but I remember seeing many reports of Lenin and Stalin statues being pulled down all over the former soviet countries after the URSS fell apart. I'm surprised that one was still standing.
You would be surprised. Thousands(I mean it) of statues over the country, streets to the name of Marx, Lenin and other humanity offenders in almost every major and minor city. It's time to move on from this ominous nonsense. (Note: it's much worse in Belarus and Russia)
