Oops, it is only a statue anyway. They are only sending a message to Russia that they value their independence.

Is he just a statue?



I don't think so.

Not so, Lenin is real for sure. However the Ukrainians are protesting and using his statue to reinforce their anger against the Russians. I think they believe Lenin would have supported the Russians were he alive today.

Lenin is dead. Anyone with respect for Lenin and think Lenin would've supported their cause would never topple his statue.

These guys are hooligans, most likely Russian KGB spies involved.

You sound beaten. I'm not feeling much flame. Are you depressed?

Cult of relics. Some objects are powerful. For instance Moses' staff.

Ole, you obviously take work way too seriously. You need to chill. Life isn't all about work. I mean work hard but don't make work your life.
