It was not immediately clear why the giant bronze monument at the Finland railway station was targeted.
A powerful blast ripped a metre-wide hole in one of Russia’s best-known statues of Vladimir Lenin on Wednesday.
It was not immediately clear why the giant bronze monument at the Finland railway station in the northern city of St Petersburg, where Lenin grabbed power in the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, was targeted. The statue celebrates Lenin’s return from exile in April 1917.
Police said they were searching for the people behind the blast. City officials said the monument would be dismantled for restoration.
