Lenin Guarded - in Kharkiv Police Set up 24-Hour Protection. VIDEO

Although the Interior Ministry denied that they are guarding the monument, the city forums discuss Lenin's bodyguards, reports TSN.

Kharkiv residents noticed that Lenin was placed under guard after a similar monument was demolished in Sumy. "Last time the police was guarding the statue of Lenin in 1990, then they were gone for 20 years, really - is it again post one?" notes historian Dikan.

There are rumors that in May they are going to erect a monument to Stalin.
