Lenin gets blown a new arsehole

Bomb blows hole in Lenin statue

One of Russia's most famous statues of Vladimir Lenin has been bombed, leaving the Bolshevik revolutionary with a gaping hole in his rear.

The bronze statue, in the city of St Petersburg, was badly damaged before dawn on Wednesday, when the blast blew a hole in Lenin's coat.

No-one was hurt in the attack, the motive for which was unknown.

The statue, outside the Finland Station, marks the Bolshevik leader's return from exile in April 1917.

"Today at 0430 [0030 GMT] there was an explosion at the Lenin monument at the Finland Station in the city centre," a spokesman for the Saint Petersburg branch of the Russian emergency situations ministry told the AFP news agency.

"As a result of the explosion a crater of 80-100cm [31-39in] appeared on the monument," he added.

Lenin gave a speech at the railway station after his return from exile.

Later that year he would lead the revolution that overthrew the government and would take the Communists to power for more than 70 years.

St Petersburg was the cradle of the Russian Revolution and was renamed Leningrad after Lenin's death in 1924.

Who would do such a thing? And how did they manage that?

Hey, maybe now he won't have to relieve his bowels by spewing stuff like this out of his mouth. He can do it the normal way.

 

[Winner]

Maybe he misfarted.

 

[Newbunkle]

Hilarious.

 

[AL_DA_GREAT]

The statue is to nice. They should make it humiliating. Put a 3 cm organ in front, add some pink clothes and devil horns.

Maybe he misfarted.

I thought the OP was funny, but this had me, quite literally:

Looking at that picture, maybe they were trying to find a map to the hidden Templar treasure inside?

Long live our dearest comrade Vladmir Ilyrch Lenin!

Looks like random vandalism. "Lol it'd be funeee to PWN Lenin's azz lolololol".
Althrough it's a good thing they didn't blast anything more valuable.

An arsehole in an arsehole. It's a strange loop! Soon, the statue will gain self consciousness.

And become radioactive, going on a rampage through St Petersburg? I think I wrote a mammoth post about that once, except it was Lenin coming back to life, a la The Simpsons...

I'm confused. At first, I throught that the statue was so hatefully desecrated by the agents of capitalism, in their fruitless crusade to humiliate Lenin in the minds of the common people. But now, I may think that it was done by a group of heroic communists in order to bring the Teacher back to us.

Lenin had a cool goatee

Lenin had a cool goatee

Communists all around the world, look at that and weep:

 

[Mowque]

^---I don't get it?

 

[eastsidebagel]

Please look closer to the end of my chin where I'm pointing with my finger. My goatee is definitely much more awesome then Lenin's.

Spoiler :

Ok, after all it's not that funny and I'm just being an attention-whore.

 

[Phlegmak]

St. Petersburg should just take down the statue, melt it, and use it for something useful.

 

[Leonel]

He must have been wanting to do that for a LONG time.

 

[Rub'Rum]

I thought the OP was funny, but this had me, quite literally:

It's signature material.

 

[Bigfoot3814]

Guffaw. I've never used the word guffaw before in my life, but it fits my sentiment here.

 

[Godwynn]

I wish they could have placed the bomb higher up on his body. Somewhere near the collar bone.

Would be neat to see some Russian going out in the morning and see Lenin's head planted half a meter into their yard.
