MINSK, Belarus – Belarusian officials says that a massive statue of Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin collapsed on a man who was hanging from it, killing him on the spot.

The Emergency Situations ministry said Monday that the 21-year-old man was drunk when he climbed onto the five-meter (16-feet)-high plaster monument early Monday and hung from its arm. It then broke into pieces and he was crushed.

The statue in the southeastern Belarus town of Uvarovichi was built in 1939.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko is a staunch admirer of the Soviet Union, and the nation still has numerous Soviet-era monuments to the revolutionary leader.

Shouldn't have been hanging on it. Lenin's statue is not having none of that.

A Ministry of Statue Hanging would have prevented this tragedy.

Belarus, Bela - rus. Rus = Russia.
In the old days Belarus was known as White Russia.

I bet the guy was plastered before he was... plastered!

 

[xbhaskarx]

Actually, not in the old days, I think Belarus may mean White Russia.
I don't know much about Slavic languages but I just remembered White is Bialy in Polish, so it must be something similar in the other languages of the region.
