Isn't tearing down statues of Lenin more than 20 years after the fall of communism a little anachronistic?

I mean it's like holding a rally to protest against Nixon.

My question would be, why is it still there 20 years after the fall of communism.

It is a symbolic rejection of Russian influence. Putin still thinks like a Soviet.
