Description
Hardcover, 175 pages, published in 2017. In Ukraine's decommunisation process, all Lenin monuments have been toppled. Photographer Niels Ackermann and Journalist Sébastien Gobert have tracked down the remains of these banned statues, revealing their fate. The authors' search has uncovered the most unlikely places where Lenin still resides - in gardens, scrap yards, and store rooms. These compelling images are combined with witness testimonies to form a unique insight into how Ukrainians perceive their country and its Soviet past. Despite efforts to reduce their status, the statues retain a sinister quality, resisting all attempts to separate them from their history. This book presents a powerful visual record of Ukraine's struggle to come to terms with its communist legacy, offering a thought-provoking exploration of the country's complex relationship with its past.
