I feel like thereās a story behind this picture. Maybe something like having a bit too much vodka the night before, which resulted in someone having the brilliant idea of decapitating a Lenin statue and bringing the head home. Apparently, it didnāt fit through the door, so they had to leave it in the stairway.
They did have a huge surplus of Lenin statues in the former Soviet sphere of influence after 1989. While some were aggregated in āLenin yardsā (apparently thereās a huge one in an industrial area in Lithuania) and others unceremoniously melted down, if someone were to souvenir the head of one such statue, it might not have been noticed.

Add some VHS filter to it and the text "you have nothing to lose but your chains", then you got a laborwave image.

This is excellent. It almost seems like an installation

I like to think the statue was already there and they built the apartments around it.

This picture gives me some serious "Disco Elysium" vibes.
