Why would citizens in the newly independent country of Latvia remove this statue of former Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin? A new and more modern statue of Vladimir Lenin would be erected instead. The statue had suffered damages during protests and now needed vital repairs. Lenin's support of democratic ideas was not welcomed by communist parties. Lenin's communist ideals were no longer supported by the people.

Vladimir Lenin is the founder of Russian Communist Party. In the year 2012, people demolished the statue of this leader because they considered it to be a symbol of Russian imperialism. The statues had suffered damages during protests and now need vital repairs. Lenin's support of democratic ideas was not welcomed by communist parties. Lenin's communist ideals were no longer supported by the people, and this was backed United Russian Party.
