Daily life in Brest, Belarus
A bust of former Soviet leader Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov more commonly known as Vladimir Lenin is seen in the lobby of a hotel in the old city center on 1 June, 2017. Although most former Soviet states have quickly gotten rid of communist sculptures Belarus remains a socialist like state under the autocratic rule of president Alexander Lukashenko.
