This is a video from youtube that a group of Ukrainian nationalists made covering their recent attempt to deface the Lenin statue that stands in the center of Kyiv.
In the end he reportedly suffered a broken nose and arm.
All I can think of as I watch this video is that if the ladder slips, that man is going to be seriously hurt in the fall.
(By posting this video, I am NOT condoning vandalism of public property. I just think it's pretty interesting to watch.)

these guys wanted to record their patriotic contribution for prosterity it seems LOL
At the very beginning of the video, the man mentions that they are carrying out a presidential decree which requires taking down sovok monuments.
Of course, in Ukraine, it's impossible to get from point A to point B.
So I don't blame these guys at all for doing what's right - taking down a monument to a brutal, murderous thug, and all of the baggage and murder that he created and that followed him.
That sick monument to evil ought to be taken down, and the metal ought to be put to good use. There's lots of it.
It's no wonder the sovok union fell apart - they spent huge amounts of money (and metal) creating monuments to evil.
The commies made a god out of lenin - and some idiots still believe it.
So they worship lenin, for some ungodly reason. It's the same thing that hitler required - an oath to himself.
Here's a great article on why "lenin lives":
lenin even got party tickets, even though he was long dead.

A Ukrainian Cossack is galloping on a horse. Towards him comes the next-door girl by the name of Marusya, whom he quite liked and flirted with. She says: “Mykola, dear…” She had no time to finish because he slashed her apart with his saber. Next, his nephew runs towards him, shouting: “Uncle Mykola!” But he, too, is slashed with a saber. He rides into his yard and out runs his sister, only to meet the same fate. Mykola jumps off the horse and runs into the house. His elderly mother is there. He looks at her and shouts in ecstasy: “Mother, I’ve seen Lenin!”
If you don’t understand the joke, you’re not a Soviet person. In Soviet society, Lenin was the greatest of them all – the holiest of all saints, the most pious of all living. He made you dizzy like a drug. He had to evoke the kind of ecstasy that in this state you could do anything – even axe the woman you love, although this, of course, is a hyperbole typical for jokes.

When the Communist Party decided to upgrade party tickets during the rule of Leonid Brezhnev, the symbolic ticket number one was set aside for Lenin, long dead by then. The second ticket was given to the ossified leader of the Soviet state, Brezhnev.
