【新唐人2014年02月22日讯】乌克兰民众捣毁大批列宁塑像
乌克兰反政府示威去年11月爆发以来，乌克兰民众捣毁推倒、毁坏列宁塑像的行动一直没有停息，大量列宁塑像已经被推倒、毁坏。最近几天，又有一大批列宁塑像被推倒。
据《美国之音》报导，2月20号，在乌克兰西部的日托米尔市，数千名市民推倒了一尊位于市中心的10米高的列宁塑像。他们把绳索套在塑像的脖子上，然后用大货车牵拉，当塑像头朝下轰然倒地时，在旁边的人群立刻响起欢呼声。列宁倒地后，头部立刻被一块块敲成碎片。
同一天，在乌克兰的其他几个城市，市民也用几乎同样的方式，推倒列宁塑像。这些列宁像有的被涂上了油漆，有的被砸掉了鼻子、眉毛和部分脸部。
报导说，一些乌克兰民众认为，列宁像不但像征着苏联过去对乌克兰的占领，更代表着专制，落后的文明和暴力。
乌克兰的反政府示威演变成血腥暴力事件，防暴警察和反政府抗议者在基辅市中心爆发冲突，造成近80人丧生。
21号，乌克兰总统和反对派领导人签署协议，使局势出现了转机。
据报导，协议内容包括修宪、筹组联合政府和提前举行总统选举。
