Russian revolutionaries

Statues of Lenin and Stalin, removed from Albania's streets in the dying days of communism three decades ago, have suddenly reappeared in the garden of a government villa. Not everyone is impressed.

But it also highlighted the rising profiles of women in politics — a trend that will continue, no matter how much it terrifies insecure men like Trump.

The demolition of a statue of Russian communist leader Vladimir Lenin in a small town in northeastern Moldova has angered Communist and Socialist pro-Russian politicians and their supporters - who have threatened retaliation.

Buried and long forgotten, the head of a giant Lenin statue is set to make a comeback in the German capital a quarter-century after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The Soviet leader will gaze again on the people when the 3.5 ton piece is resurrected from its current grave, a sandpit under a pile of rocks home to a colony of lizards.

Two of Russia?s most iconic historical figures came to blows close to Moscow?s Red Square when a Stalin double allegedly attacked a Lenin lookalike over a work dispute, police said on July 7. 

For many years, attempts at finding the photo of Apollinariya Yakubova, the woman considered by many historians as Lenin’s true love, proved futile.

The face of the woman that Lenin seems to have fallen in love with while he lived in London used to be unknown until recently.
