Ignorant Russians in alignment with Putin want to bring back the founder of the former Soviet Union.

And I’m viewed as out of touch for seeing the expansionistic desires of Putin in a similar light.

MOSCOW — Moscow’s occupying authorities in the southern Ukrainian city of Melitopol said Saturday they had brought back a statue of Lenin, seven years after it was taken down following Kyiv’s pro-EU revolution.

The Moscow-installed head of the Zaporizhzhia region, Vladimir Rogov, posted a photograph of workers in the city reinstating the tribute to the Bolshevik leader.

“After seven years the statue of Vladimir Lenin has returned to its place in Melitopol,” he said, adding that city authorities had taken it down in 2015.

Ukraine dismantled Lenin statues across the country after its 2014 revolution overthrew a Moscow-backed regime as part of its “de-communization drive.”

It was seen as an effort to break away from Russian and Soviet influence.
