VANDALS have set off an explosion that damaged one of the last Soviet-era monuments to Communist leader Vladimir Lenin in Russia's former imperial capital.

Nobody was hurt in the night-time explosion outside a train station in Saint Petersburg, the hotbed of the Bolshevik Revolution.

"Today there was an explosion at the Lenin monument at the Finland Station in the city centre,'' a spokesman for the Saint Petersburg branch of the Russian emergency situations ministry said.

"As a result of the explosion a crater of 80cm to 100cm appeared on the monument,'' he said, adding that some nearby light fixtures were also damaged in the blast.

The Finland Station was where Lenin returned from exile in April 1917 before leading his Bolshevik party to power in a revolution that ushered in more than seven decades of Soviet communism.

The bomb had the power of about 400 grams of TNT

That's actually a pretty big shame, Lenin wasn't that much of a bad egg at all. Pretty /fail implementation of Marxist doctrine but he was still a pretty fair bloke overall, some of his comments on art and literature show that he was a pretty wise and considerate fella. Besides, even if the monument was of Hitler or Stalin- what's the point? What does vandalism achieve? A monument is still a monument of historical and social importance, even if it does mark a dark period in a nation's history; sometimes you need to remember the bad-times as well as the good times in order to go forward in the right direction.

You'd think these would be the times where folk like Lenin would start becoming more popular (again)
