Protesters pulled down a statue of Lenin in the eastern Ukraine city of Kharkov. The last time a statue fell like this, Iraq was put on the path to become what it is today. As the LA Times said, the US “stage-managed” the event, and the media helped.

The protesters took a jackhammer to the statue base to carve “Glory to Ukraine” (Слава Україні) in its side.
