Vladimir Lenin

Statues of Lenin and Stalin, removed from Albania's streets in the dying days of communism three decades ago, have suddenly reappeared in the garden of a government villa. Not everyone is impressed.

The demolition of a statue of Russian communist leader Vladimir Lenin in a small town in northeastern Moldova has angered Communist and Socialist pro-Russian politicians and their supporters - who have threatened retaliation.

A wooden bust of Vladimir Lenin, the founder of the Russian Communist Party and the leader of the Bolshevik Revolution, that washed up on a beach off the Akçakoca district of the Black Sea province of Düzce in 1991 is set to be filmed, private broadcaster CNN Turk has reported.  

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.

Two of Russia?s most iconic historical figures came to blows close to Moscow?s Red Square when a Stalin double allegedly attacked a Lenin lookalike over a work dispute, police said on July 7. 

For many years, attempts at finding the photo of Apollinariya Yakubova, the woman considered by many historians as Lenin’s true love, proved futile.

The face of the woman that Lenin seems to have fallen in love with while he lived in London used to be unknown until recently.

90 years following the death of Vladimir Lenin in 1924, his corpse is open to the public for the first time at a Mausoleum erected in his honor at the Red Square in Moscow. His embalmed body shows no signs of wearing and looks as though he died yesterday.

If you fell into a coma in East Germany in October 1989 and woke up a few months later - like the protagonist’s mother in the German movie “Good Bye Lenin!” - you would find yourself in a completely different country.

Pro-Ukrainian protesters in eastern Ukraine's city Kharkiv on Sept. 28 toppled a giant Lenin statue seen as a symbol of Soviet legacy and Moscow's control.
