Protesters in Ukraine have toppled a statue of Vladimir Lenin in Kiev as hundreds of thousands flooded the capital.
Police said people wearing masks pulled down and decapitated the statue of the Russian revolutionary leader in the centre of the city.
Protesters took turns beating on the torso of the fallen monument, while others chanted "Glory to Ukraine!"
The chaotic protest further raised tensions in the Ukrainian capital, where protesters have gathered to denounce the government's move away from Europe and toward Moscow.
