A cleanup worker walks past a damaged portrait of Vladimir Lenin inside the Parliament building in Chisinau, Moldova on 8 April 2009. Anti-communist protesters had stormed and ransacked the Parliament building the previous day after opposition leaders accused the Communists of rigging the elections on 5 April. Moldova is the only former Soviet country that has voted Communists back in to power since the collapse of the USSR.
