"Lenin's Legacy: A Century of Controversy and Silence"
As Russia marks the centenary of Vladimir Lenin's death, his legacy is being reevaluated, with some viewing him as a nurturing revolutionary and others as a monstrous figure. While Putin denounces Lenin, his body remains on public display, sparking debate. Lenin's influence has waned internationally, but his vision of a party-state led by an ideological vanguard is evident in China. In Ukraine, decommunisation efforts have led to the removal of Lenin statues. Despite differing views, Lenin's legacy continues to provoke passionate debate in Russia and beyond.
