Some wonder why a statue of Lenin was still standing at all.
How/why was there an un-toppled Lenin statue in Kiev until now?

Of course, the mainstream media were nowhere to be found.
I'm surprised that the media has paid little attention to Ukraine as people toppled down a Lenin statue in the nation's capital.
