MARIUPOL, UKRAINE - AUGUST 31, 2015: A statue of Vladimir Lenin lies on the ground after being removed from public display in Mariupol, Ukraine. Since the Maidan protests, many Lenin statues were toppled either by pro-Ukrainian activists in a symbolic break with their Communist past and Russian ties, or else to comply with a recent law which bans the display of Communist or Nazi symbols.
