History Has its Demands: Stalin Statues Division

My friend Neizvestnie remembers an important day during his youth in Kazakhstan:
I knew the statues of Stalin had been taken away. One day I was out berry picking and I came upon a field--there they all were, 200 of them, lying in a field. All the noses had been broken off, I suppose so no one could use them again. There is a highway over the field now, but I know where they are buried.
