Dad Tangent - The Statues That Wouldn’t Die: Lenin in Every Town


Listen Later

After World War II, Ukraine was in ruins — but there was one thing the Soviets never ran short on: Lenin statues. Big ones, small ones, golden ones, even a few with mystery accessories. In this Dad Tangent, we dive into the weird and wonderful world of postwar propaganda monuments,where copy-paste Lenins ruled every town square and birds were the real revolutionaries.

It’s a tale of hammers, sickles, and a whole lot of sculpted stone.
