A statue of Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin is toppled by demostrators in the Ukrainian capitol Kiev.

The statue was a symbol of Moscow's power over this former Soviet republic.

Demonstrators have grown furious that Kiev has ditched a landmark pact with the EU, in favor of a trade deal with Moscow.

They're demanding that President Viktor Yanukovich sack his own government.
