It seems that in Russia, they are trying to restore a lot of the Soviet symbology. I have seen reports of Lenin and Stalin statues returning to places they were dismantled at during the fall of the USSR.

Hopefully the younger generation can overcome this. It’s really a disgrace to want to get back into that tyranical mold. It’s a bit as if post WW2 Germans got back into the Nazi stuff.

Yelstin should’ve banned the symbols entirely I guess. They can’t handle it.

Can you share some of the sources? I recall there was some speculation to put Dzerzhinsky statue back into Lubyanka square, but that hasn't happened.
