'Tis the season to be Commie

The other week, ol' V.I. had strings of red lights coming down from the star to a circle around the base of the statue. At night, when lit up, it looked like one of those quick-and-dirty Christmas trees "Holiday trees" made out of lights. Unfortunately, you couldn't see the Lenin for the tree. So last week, somebody cut the strings of lights. This week, they were removed altogether.

A far better look, in our opinion. The minimalism --and symbolism-- of the simple red star serves the statue much better during this joyous season.

Fa da da da da!, Comrade!
