The eerie beauty of Ukraine's Lenin statues, toppled in the name of decommunization

In the process of decommunisation, Ukraine has toppled all its Lenin monuments. The authors have hunted down and photographed these banned Soviet statues, revealing their inglorious fate. As Russia celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution, Ukraine struggles to achieve complete decommunization. Perhaps the most dramatic demonstration of this process is the phenomenon of Leninopad (Lenin-fall)--the toppling of Lenin statues. In 2015 the Ukrainian parliament passed legislation banning these monuments as symbols of the obsolete Soviet regime. From an original population of 5500 in 1991, today not a single Lenin statue remains standing in Ukraine.

Photographer Niels Ackermann and journalist S bastien Gobert, both based in Kyiv, have scoured the country in search of the remains of these toppled figures. They found them in the most unlikely of places: Lenin inhabits gardens, scrap yards and store rooms. He has fallen on hard times--cut into pieces; daubed with paint in the colors of the Ukrainian flag; transformed into a Cossack or Darth Vader--but despite these attempts to reduce their status, the statues retain a sinister quality, resisting all efforts to separate them from their history.

These compelling images are combined with witness testimonies to form a unique insight, revealing how Ukrainians perceive their country, and how they are grappling with the legacy of their Soviet past to conceive a new vision of the future.

Exceeded my expectations in every way.

Great quality solid copper cables. None of the local stores, such as Walmart or Autozone had Any real copper cables at all. All offerings were CCA dual-conductor cables that are essentially 95% aluminum. 2/3rd of available options had Packaging that didn't openly disclose this fact. It took time researching each "high-performance", or "professional grade" audio cables they had in stock. Perhaps, there's no regulations that require manufacturers to to make any reference clarifying that the product isn't pure copper. It was surprisingly misleading. Amazon Basic branded cables are as good as the best cables you cables you can buy elsewhere online. 14 Gauge us about as thick as you could reasonably use at home without it becoming a major annoying mess. Great price as well. Made in Vietnam - is just the icing on the cake. Ordered the "used" option. Cables were brand new, the coil was slightly banged up in shipping and dusty, thus the 15% discount

If you need cable for your power supply and ground. Look no further. This is quality from the copper to the insulation. I wasn't sure about buying wires off amazon but this is my new favorite. Done several trucks and they are holding up just fine.
