Trying to process what's happening in Ukraine and filled with sadness, anxiety and confusion, we're featuring a few @nielsack photos today from 'Looking for Lenin,' published by our Soviet weirdness experts @fuelpublishing This eerie book captures the chilling beauty of Ukraine’s Lenin statues, toppled in the name of decommunization Photographer Niels Ackermann and journalist @seb.gobert both based in Kyiv, 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 have grappled with the legacy of their Soviet past to conceive a new vision of the future. #lookingforlenin #fuelpublishing #ukraine https://www.instagram.com/p/CaXX2CwFQD9/?utm_medium=tumblr
