Leninism

Turkey has asked Moscow to arrest and extradite Mihrac Ural, the leader of the outlawed People’s Liberation Party-Front (THKP-C), which Turkey has deemed responsible for a deadly attack in the southern province of Hatay in 2013. Ural was seen unexpectedly among participants at the Syria congress in Sochi, Russia this week.

The former head of an outlawed Turkish group, who recently headed a Syrian militia group allied with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad that is accused of the 2013 terror attack in Turkey's Reyhanl?, is reported to have been killed in a clash between Syrian rebels and pro-regime forces in Latakia.

Buried and long forgotten, the head of a giant Lenin statue is set to make a comeback in the German capital a quarter-century after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The Soviet leader will gaze again on the people when the 3.5 ton piece is resurrected from its current grave, a sandpit under a pile of rocks home to a colony of lizards.
