Lenin Is Toppled In My Father's Home Town

The toppling of the Lenin statue in Bila Tserkva, Ukraine. Daily Mail

My Comment: I was stunned to see these images in The Daily Mail. Bila Tserkva is my father's home town, and it is the burial site on my father's side of the family. I have visited this city a number of times, and I always found the Lenin statue to be out of place in modern day Ukraine. It is a shame that my father is not alive to see this .... he hated that statue and all that it represented.
