SEMYONOVKA, UKRAINE - SEPTEMBER 13, 2015: Ivan Kovalenko, 69, foreground, and Ivan M. Papchenko, 67, the secretary of the local Communist party, near a reconstituted statue of Vladimir I. Lenin in Semyonovka, Ukraine. The statue, which was taken down from the town square in the immediate aftermath of the collapse of the government of President Viktor Yanukovych in February 2014, was erected again in a new, more discreet, location in a park two months later based in part by a petition to the city council submitted by the local Communist party. A new decommunization law has stirred criticism as being a diversion from more pressing issues of war and the economy. CREDIT: Brendan Hoffman for The New York Times
