Scientists trekking across a little visited part of Antarctica have discovered a bizarre relic of the Soviet Union is dominating the South Pole of Inaccessibility.

I see the Russians are as practical as ever. Plugging a chimney with a Lenin bust - yep, great use for it :rotfl:

The bastages put it in the aussie zone! this means war!

thats impressive... maybe the soviets were looking for somewhere else to put gulags rather than siberia.?

It think that is bloody hilarious, though from my time in Russia you could find Lenin busts in the weirdest of places.

UFOs abducted it in Moscow 1952. When discovering their mistake, they unloaded it again at the next opportunity - anywhere.

Stupid little green men.

Well the egyptians put up priminds in the desert, the Soviets put up statues of past leaders in the ice. If i was those explorers i did be looking for signs of a long stretch of road for alien crafts to land...
