New Lenin Installed in Akhtyrka. PHOTO

On Tuesday, March 12 Akhtyrka residents rushing to work in the morning found a new monument vaguely similar to Lenin on an empty pedestal after the events of 15 and 23 February when the old one was destroyed.

Let's leave the degree of similarity to historians and critics, but it is obvious that the "circus" around the monument is up for a a second act, reports okhtyrka.net.

According to eye witnesses the preparation for installing the monument began the previous night.
