Kyrgyzstan won a huge statue of Vladimir Lenin, a revolutionary Soviet leader.
When Kyrgyzstan was a member of the Soviet Union, the 23 -meter -high monument, which was first built, climbed the OSH city for 50 years before it was quietly removed this week.
On Saturday, photos showing the communist revolutionary who appeared noticeably in the Soviet Domination method were lowered by the crane.
Many former Soviet Republices have recently tried to reconstruct the national identity that focused on relocation with Russia, but local officials have decided to move the statue.
Kyrgyzstan’s authorities will know the risk of unpleasant Russian allies a week after the latter released a new statue of Josef Stalin, another Soviet figure in Moscow.
In the city hall of OSH, the second largest city in the country after the capital, the statement said that the figure will be transferred to part of the “general practice” to improve the city’s “architectural and aesthetic appearance.”
It pointed out the case of the Lenin statue deleted from Russia.
According to local media, this statue will be replaced by a flag as the other Lenin statue is transferred from Visy.
Kyrgyzstan was independent when the Soviet Union collapsed 34 years ago.
But reminding Soviet history can be found all over the country even where there is no statue. For example, the second best mountain is Lenin Peak.
