The monument, located on the territory of “Sportokhota”, had not been left alone before - Lenin, brought 12 years ago from Kyiv, was dressed in a camouflage hunting suit, which caused discontent among the Cherkassy communists. Now the management of the entertainment complex has decided to show their “patriotism”:

There have been so many changes in the country,” says the director of the complex, Svetlana Litvinova, “The Revolution of Dignity, now our soldiers are defending the state in the east of the country. And patriots also visit Sportokhota, so we are sure that such changes in the appearance of the statue will please them.
