“Seattle’s Freemont neighborhood would riot if someone did this to their prized statue.”

Back when I lived in the People’s Republic of Seattle, this was my constant fantasy; someone with a 50mm Barrett camper-shelled in the back of a pickup would roll up on that statue in the dead of night and open up with steady blast until ole Vlad was swiss cheese.

This one is almost just as good!

Actually, the Barrett is .50 CALIBER, or a one-half inch bullet diameter, rather than 50 MM. THAT would be a good-sized cannon, and regulated by the BATF as a Destructive Device.

What a disgrace that damn statue of Lenin in Freemont is! I drove by it a couple of times and wished the same thing!

Obama will prosecute the culprits. He will chase they to the ends of the earth.

Too bad, the Russians will refurbish the Lenin statue and back up it will go. Old Pootie needs these Soviet memorials around to give himself feelings of the old times.

April Lenin Prank

April day Lenin blown up prank

Today is April the First, the April’s Fool day, many people are busy doing jokes and pranks on their coleagues and friends.

In Russia this tradition is also recognized and many do funny and sometimes not-so-funny stuff.

Probably, the most loud prank that hit today’s Russia was a prank made by the group of youngsters of St.Petersburg.

They have found somewhere explosives, equaled to 300g TNT, and put it inside the iron steel Lenin monument standing on the city square across the railway station. Then at four o’clock in the morning they blew up the explosives so starting early morning of April, 1st 2009 all coming to St.Petersburg railway station or leaving thru it have seen a new look of Lenin monument, with a hole “in the back” as it was called by Russian media, but if to be honest that’s not back, but some body part that is lower than the back.
