Minecraft Lenin – level 1

04-12-2017 07:00

There is a new statue in a city in Russia. It is a statue of Lenin. People make it from cardboard.

The statue is 2 metres tall. It is in the style of Minecraft. Minecraft is a popular video game.

Local communists are outraged by the statue. They say that it is very disrespectful. They want the statue down.

The creator of the statue is surprised by the reaction. He says that the statue is cardboard. It will be down before winter.

Difficult words: cardboard (very thick paper), communist (a person who believes in communism – a government that wants to help all people in a country), outraged (shocked and angry), disrespectful (it does not show respect for Lenin).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
