According to Independent.co.uk
“Ukraine has removed all 1,320 statues of Lenin Monuments to the Bolshevik leader have been dismantled in every town, village and city controlled by the Kiev-based government
Ukraine has removed all 1,320 statues of the communist revolutionary Lenin following a government drive to rid the country of Soviet-era symbols. Monuments to the Bolshevik leader have been dismantled in every town, village and city controlled by the Kiev-based government that brought down pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych three years ago, according to officials. The anti-Soviet initiative, which also orders the renaming of streets and cities, was made law by President Petro Poroshenko in May 2015, according to The Times.
Many places have been named after Ukranian heroes, however a Lenin Street in Zakarpattia, a western region, was renamed Lennon Street in a tribute to the Beatles.
Volodymyr Viatrovych, director of the Institute of National Remembrance, confirmed that every Lenin statue had been removed along with 1,069 other Soviet monuments. Despite the policy, Communist relics still remain in the eastern parts of Ukraine controlled by Kremlin-backed forces.”

They are both in hell of course! But the acceptance of Bandera is a conflict with ALL our neighbors (isolation), look at Poland!

You are right. I know Poland has done well not accepting Bandera. In general, it is bad to proclaim someone being a hero who does not deserve it. And I'd say that personally I'm not accepting Bandera. I'm not accepting anyone who's murderer. Surely, I know that Lenin is not so bad as I've described him recently. But anyway... ... Why do we start all this angry conversation?... Well, I'm sorry. Honestly, I don't give a f*** about all of these. This is politics who puts us in quarrels all the time... I never love it though... Well, I'm sorry if I've hurt someone's feelings, etc. P.S. I left my opinion right in the same positions, but... whatever...

Кароче, как я уже писал здесь на Украине должен быть референдум чтобы народ решил какие памятники нам нужны, а не как сейчас силой принуждают Бандеру и снимают Ильича! Проблема какая полит сила сможет это сделать?? Все у нас так запущенно...памятники Ленину начали снимать во время Евромайдана(2013 год) еще до событий в Крыму и на Донбассе и стало катализатором для этого! Пишу на русском потому что не желаю посвящать иностранцев в наши проблемы! Как говорил вроде-бы Высоцкий в Париже: -Я имею проблемы со своим государством, но с вами этого Я обсуждать не буду!-

You are right! I agree with you! This position is really rational! Well, I'm sorry if I've said something offended. I'd say that referendum is a good idea, it groups people together.

unknown anyway as I said before a bad story is our story and thus throwing it out is a shame! My uncle having lived in Portugal after arriving in Ukraine does not understand the people living here at all and scolds idiots ... although he is absolutely not a Communist! .. and if you are tired of communism, then just give up the house in which you live! After all, 90% of what we have built under communism .. including roads! Shrug
