A monument to Lenin was demolished in the center of Moscow

In the center of Moscow, on Klimashkin Street in the Presnensky district, unknown people demolished the monument to Lenin. It is reported by Life. The fallen statue has a head off the head; It is assumed that this happened due to a blow to the ground.

Employees of utilities expressed the opinion that the monument fell due to a strong wind: inside the statue is hollow. However, during the audit, the police found pieces of rope at the site of the incident. The security forces do not exclude that it was used to overthrow the sculpture from the pedestal.

In addition, a piece of paper with a rebus was attached on a tree next to the pedestal. A hanger and a vest are depicted on the sheet; To the right of the first drawing are three commas, to the right of the second - five. If you take away the last three letters from the word "hanger", and from the word "vest" - five, you get the word "hanger". As Life suggests, such a pseudonym refers to the character of the film Quentin Tarantino "Democratic Eight".

In Ukraine, during Euromaidan, a massive demolition of monuments to Lenin began. Leninopad, which has become one of the symbol of political changes in the country, with greater or less intensity continues to the present. The process also affected the territories of the East of the country, captured by pro -Russian militants. On the night of January 27, a monument to Lenin, erected on the main square of Donetsk , was blown up, and on the night of June 4, unknown demolished the monument in the near Donetsk suburb of Makeevka . The coloring of Lenin statues in the colors of the Ukrainian flag was also popular.

Attacks of this kind began to be carried out in Russia. Two famous demolitions made in April 2015, however, were not political actions. In Buzuluk, the Orenburg region, the growth sculpture of Lenin collapsed as a result of the pranks of adolescents , and the bust in Birobidzhan was accidentally split .

Meanwhile, the coloring of monuments to Lenin in Russia were conscious political statements. In December 2014, three residents of Novosibirsk were painted in the colors of the Ukrainian flag at the Giprole Institute, and on the pedestal they wrote "Glory to Ukraine". A few days earlier, two of these people and another comrade painted on the Bust of Lenin at the regional committee of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Communist Party and Runa Wolfsangel, which, among other things, is used as the emblem of the Azov battalion. For these and a number of such shares, all four in September 2015 were convicted, and two - by real terms in the colony .

In Chelyabinsk, the same bust of Lenin, installed in the park of the scarlet field, was painted twice: in April and September 2015 . At the same time, the second action took place a few days after the message of the regional Ministry of Internal Affairs on the detention of the suspect in the first. Later it became known that the involvement of the case of separatism Alexei Moroshkin was suspected of one of the shares, sent for compulsory treatment to a mental hospital.
