One of Russia's best-known statues of Vladimir Lenin is seen after being damaged by a blast in St. Petersburg, Russia, Wednesday. The blast hit the towering statue Tuesday night in the square outside Finland Station. The bronze statue commemorates a speech he gave outside the station when he returned to Russia from exile in April 1917, a few months before the Bolshevik Revolution.
