Ukraine Demonstrations Escalate as Protestors Topple Lenin Monument
Tensions in Ukraine continued to escalate Sunday, as anti-government protestors took to the streets in Kiev, the capital city, and toppled a prominent statue of Vladimir Lenin, the Russian revolutionary who was the first head of the Soviet Union.
The scene, which was captured on Instagram and other social-media platforms, caps off more than two weeks of demonstrations in which thousands of Ukrainians have publicly protested President Viktor F. Yanukovich's Nov. 21 decision not to sign a deal with the European Union, which would have established broad political and free-trade agreements.
