Instead of striking a trademark dramatic pose, the new Lenin statue in Nowa Huta is bright green and depicts the revolutionary relieving himself.
A statue of Vladimir Lenin has returned to a Polish town which was constructed by the communists in the hope of it becoming a proletarian bastion.
Instead of striking a dramatic pose designed to inspire revolution, however, the new Lenin statue in Nowa Huta comes bright green in color, and depicts the revolutionary leader relieving himself, with a water feature providing the necessary effects.

Poland’s post-war communist government built the industrial town of Nowa Huta, and it once boasted a huge statue of the Russian leader striding down a main boulevard.
Nowa Huta’s workers resisted attempts to make them die-hard socialists, with some even trying to blow up the original Lenin statue in 1979.
The attackers failed to use enough explosives and only succeeded in damaging the Russian’s feet.

取代擺出架勢十足的姿勢,新胡塔的新列寧雕像是螢光綠色且描繪呈現這位革命家正在解放自己。
列寧雕像又出現在一個曾經由共產黨建立、期盼打造成無產階級堡壘的波蘭城鎮。
取代擺出揭示革命、架勢十足的姿勢,新胡塔的新列寧雕像呈現螢光綠色,並摹寫這位革命領袖正在解放自己,由水柱提供了必要的效果。
波蘭戰後共黨政府建立了工業城新胡塔,沿著主要的林蔭大道曾出現一尊這位俄國領袖的巨大雕像。
新胡塔的工人堅持拒絕成為社會主義的死硬派,曾有人在一九七九年試圖炸掉原有的列寧雕像。
攻擊者沒有足夠火藥以致失敗,僅成功地傷到列寧雕像的腳。

The new generation born between 2025 and 2039 has been officially named “Generation Beta,” or simply “Gen Beta.” This generation will be the first to experience a world where artificial intelligence (AI) plays a key role in daily life.
