Statue graveyard

What do you do when your city is littered with statues of old Soviet leaders, in numbers that you no longer feel is appropriate in post-Soviet times? Well, you keep a few of your favourites up, but dump the rest in a sculpture garden behind the modern art gallery. The result is a clutter of Lenins and Stalins of all sizes on the grass, and bizarre encounters between older Lenin and his younger self, whom he scrutinises intensely from under the trees.
