After the end of the Soviet Union me and a friend were both shaking our heads in despair-- all across the vast former Soviet empire statues of Lenin were being pulled down and piled up in scrap yards, and we so badly wished we had the thousands of dollars needed to buy and ship at least a couple of them to the US.
A giant statue of Lenin would be the ultimate lawn ornament.
