I assume that this is an example of post-Warsaw Pact lésé majesté. The bilious dork green color furthers this impression. However, it makes a campy statement, to say the least.
However, I understand that some Polish feminists are arguing that the statue of Lenin peeing while standing be replaced by one in which he is seated on the toilet. And one assumes that he would not raise the seat afterwards.
