Thousands of protesters in Kiev, Ukraine, have pulled down and decapitated the statue of Lenin in the city centre. Protesters gathered to protest against the country's move away from Europe to Moscow in allegiance with Russia. The government did not seem too worried about the protest as no violence broke out but the statue has been completely destroyed. We are used to public gatherings such as these in the middle east but they are becoming more common in europe aswell as seen in the london riots and this incident. Most protests start online now and both the events mentioned actually originated online on sites such as Facebook and twitter.
