Anti-Communism activists have made a call to take down Moscow’s largest surviving statue of Soviet leader Mark Lenin on his 149th birthday.
A debate is still being held in Russia whether to bury Lenin’s body or preserve it in its mausoleum on Red Square.
Several republics of the former Soviet Union replaced Lenin statues since the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics collapsed in 1991.
Conservative lawmaker Natalia Poklonskaya along with others called for Lenin’s body to be buried, saying it as “a relic that’s pulling us behind.”
