horrors that occurred to former soviet states... Ukraine really receiving some of the worst..


my point still stand tho.. just a bunch of right wingers arguing with themselves while finding statues they all mutually hate to tear down as some sort of symbolic jester...
when in reality, Russia could care even less about lenin than the people of Ukraine these days.... (just like folks in china probably only read about a paragraph about Mao in their 'history' classes)..
hell, I wouldn't even blame lenin for the incident (who was long dead when it happened)... just another one to chuck up to ole stalin... if you ask me.
but his statue on the ground with a pick wielding nationalist coming down full strength makes one hell of a photo.


btw, Russia isn't the only 'communist' country to have attempted to use starvation to sway citizens to stop resisting.. mao actually did it pretty regularly as well.. probably the most used incidents when im being attacked by someone on the right as an example of left wingers being evil (yes, because we're all communists.. duh.. lol)...

again tho...
they are arguing over which corrupt party of the right will take over for the corrupt party of the center.
not sure what that has to do with lenin.
