Majority of Hungarians Don't Believe In Communism

On the 100th anniversary of Lenin's death, the Nezopont Institute and the Institute for the Research of Communism conducted a joint public opinion poll on the perception of the communist leader and communism. Findings reveal that the majority of Hungarians (52 percent) hold Lenin responsible for mass murders, and three quarters (76 percent) disagree with Western Europe erecting statues to communist leaders.

It took two days and a giant crane, but Ukraine on Thursday finally managed to lift its biggest remaining statue of Soviet founder Lenin off its pedestal and consign it to the dustbins of history. The 20-meter-tall (65-foot-tall) bronze and granite monument fell victim to a Ukrainian ban on Soviet symbols that was imposed in May 2015 as part of the Russian neighbour's drive toward closer relations with the European Union.
