Ukraine Removes Lenin Statue in Sudzha, Kursk, Amid Decommunization Efforts in Belgorod
Aug 16, 2024, 09:11 PM
In a significant move reflecting Ukraine's ongoing decommunization efforts, Ukrainian forces have removed a statue of Vladimir Lenin in the Russian town of Sudzha, located in the Kursk region. This action is part of a broader campaign by Ukraine to eliminate symbols of communism in areas under its control, including Kursk and Belgorod, following the country's decommunization policy initiated in 2015. The removal of the Lenin monument comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Sudzha is fully under Ukrainian control. The decommunization process, which includes renaming streets and demolishing monuments, aims to eradicate remnants of the Soviet Union's influence. This development has sparked discussions on the cultural and historical significance of such monuments in Russia.
