Big Lenin heads in Ulan Ude

Also at the WaPo, the Russian Chronicle blog stops in the Buryat capital of Ulan Ude. Worth a looksie, if for no other reason than the big Lenin head. Definitely more impressive than the Lenin statue in front of the Ulaanbaatar Hotel.

Oh, and Lenin-statue fans will probably get off on Anders Thorsell’s photo compilation of Lenin statues of the world.

    Better not let Kim Jong Il see that photo. He’ll make one for himself and stick it on top of one of the mountains overlooking the DMZ. That thing was huge!!!
