Ukraine: Blowing up Stalin statue was terrorism

Ukrainian authorities have described as an act of terrorism a New Year's Eve explosion that destroyed a new statue of dictator Josef Stalin in a city in central Ukraine.

 

The unveiling of the statue, the first new public monument to Stalin in decades, in Zaporizhya in May last year fuelled tension between Ukraine's pro-Russian east and nationalist west. (Reuters)
