Subject: Giant Lenin 'head' unearthed 24 years after burial in Berlin

Written By: Philip Eno on 09/11/15 at 11:59 am

The giant head of a statue of Russian revolutionary Lenin has been unearthed, 24 years after it was buried in a German forest.

Workers dug up the granite structure from woodland outside Berlin, following a campaign by historians.

The head was once part of a 19m (62ft) monument to the communist leader, which towered over the east of the city.

It was dismantled in 1991 after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the pieces were buried in a secluded forest.
