Few Hungarians thought they'd ever see Lenin in Budapest again.So when they saw a 12-metre-high foam sculpture of the Soviet dictator on Wednesday on a boat on the Danube in the heart of the city, it was no wonder they called the police.
Soviet troops were withdrawn from Hungary in the early 1990s and sculptures of Lenin were either destroyed or ousted into a history park in the outskirts of Budapest.
"The calls were inquiries rather than complaints," police spokeswoman Eva Tafferner said.
The sculpture was a prop for a film about the farewell to Communism, which collapsed in Hungary two decades ago, producer Peter Miskolczy was quoted as saying by national news agency. Link
