A statue of Vladimir Lenin has returned to a Polish town which was constructed by the communists in the hope of it becoming a proletarian bastion.

But instead of striking a dramatic pose designed to inspire revolution, the new Lenin statue in Nowa Huta comes bright green in colour, and depicts the revolutionary leader relieving himself, with a water feature providing the necessary effects.

Many don't realize, we have our own Lenin Statue. In Seattle’s very  liberal Freemont district. Why this was ever aloud to be put up is beyond me.
