Before the birth of the USSR Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin was a Russian officer fighting in the Polish-Soviet war in the Ukraine.
Stalin eventually murdered over 5 million Ukrainian pheasants leaving them to starve in a ferocious famine in the 1930s. The Holodomor famine is also known as the Ukrainian Genocide.
The 'Pissing Stalin Golden Monument' was created by the Ukrainian nationalist party Bratstvo. Standing five-feet tall the wooden sculpture clearly shows Stalin's penis protruding verily out of his trousers and an accompanying stream of pee arcing profusely onto a hydrant.
Joseph's memory in Ukraine is not so hot. Hence, Uncle Joe's peeing statue was fully intended to ridicule the mass-killer. But the state police were not amused.
A kind of Stalin-statue rivalry is griping the country. Those who hate the old pal of Hitler's and those who want to revise history and honor the monster. The Ukraine just can't seem to shake it's penchant for war, even on a simulacrum level.
