Monuments to the Bolshevik leader have been dismantled in every town, village and city controlled by the Kiev-based government that brought down pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych three years ago, according to officials. The anti-Soviet initiative, which also orders the renaming of streets and cities, was made law by President Petro Poroshenko in May 2015, according to The Times. Many places have been named after Ukranian heroes, however a Lenin Street in Zakarpattia, a western region, was renamed Lennon Street in a tribute to the Beatles. Volodymyr Viatrovych, director of the Institute of National Remembrance, confirmed that every Lenin statue had been removed along with 1,069 other Soviet monuments. How does CE feel about these statues being removed? >_> --- http://i.imgur.com/6MpDU9H.png http://i.imgur.com/CeG42tA.jpg http://i.imgur.com/fvIsIB1.gif https://i.imgur.com/8lDngl8.png <cite>BeautifulBlaze posted [p:885203629] in Ukraine ha...
