Via Daily Caller:

A man in the Russian city of Prokopyevsk got drunk Wednesday and tried to take a selfie with a statue of Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin, destroying it in the process.

According to local outlet FlashSiberia, witnesses say the 30-year-old man tried to hang on the plaster statue’s outstretched arm, which could not support his weight and came crashing to the ground. He then unsuccessfully tried to piece the statue back together.

Police identified the man from fingerprints left on the statue, as well as a nearby beer bottle. The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs already had his fingerprints on file.

He will also face a fine of 20,000 rubles for his actions — the equivalent of just over $350, Vesti.ru reported
