Lenin aside

Image: As the Soviet Empire fractured, symbols of the Party were dismantled. Huge statues of Lenin and Stalin were toppled, alternately grieved or abused by onlookers, then trucked away to be abandoned in fields or other remote spots, where one could stroll among the enormous body parts of the former high priests of communism. Here a passerby takes an opportunity to gives Lenin a scolding while construction workers who helped dismantle the statue look on. (used by arrangement with Karin Kramer Verlag, Berlin) Sound: coming soon
