Activists set up a gallow and a bust of Soviet Union founder Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, known as Lenin, during a protest action near the Ukrainian Constitutional Court building in Kiev on July 16, 2019, as it considers the case on the constitutionality of the laws on de-communization. 46 Ukrainian lawmakers, mostly supporters of former Russia-backed President Viktor Yanukovych, addressed the court to repeal the laws “On the cleansing of power” and “On condemnation of the communist and national socialist (Nazi) totalitarian regimes in Ukraine and the prohibition of their symbols”.
