There is a recent article on the website of the Styrian Communist Party in which the chief ideologist of the Styrian Communists finds kind words for the Russian revolutionary Vladimir Ilyich Lenin on the 100th anniversary of his death. Ten years earlier, on the 90th anniversary of his death, the hymns of praise were even clearer.

A few weeks ago marked the 100th anniversary of the death of the dark red icon Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. Of course, this anniversary did not go unnoticed by the Styrian communists - which was met with some head-shaking, especially from political rivals.
