Good to see that in modern, democratic Russia, statue-makers are still doing a roaring trade:
A statue of Lenin has been unveiled in the Irkutsk region of Siberia, Interfax reported Monday. About 500 local people came to see the three-meter monument in the centre of Ust Kut town.
The monument was ordered back in 1987 by the local culture department and the Communist Party’s municipal department.
It’s especially pleasing to see that Irkutsk, my favourite region in Russia, is doing its very best to keep with the times.
- What next?
