A complete collection of Vladimir Lenin’s works was reportedly destroyed in an underground archive in Lviv after Russia’s ballistic missile, Oreshnik, struck the city, Ukrainian military expert Serhii Flash stated.
Flash, a consultant in radio technologies, explained that the missile penetrated two reinforced concrete slabs before obliterating the archive, writing about the strike on Telegram on January 9.

Flash stated that the attack was not intended to target anything of global significance but was rather a message to Europe about Russia’s capabilities and determination.
The strike specifically targeted a city in western Ukraine, signaling a strategic point in Russia’s messaging to Europe.
Flash stressed that the exaggerated claims made by Russian media about deep penetrating strikes are untrue, clarifying that the attack did not cause the dramatic effects often described in official Russian reports.
Previously, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha condemned Russia’s latest combined missile and drone assault on Ukrainian cities and critical infrastructure, warning that the strikes represent not only terror against civilians but a direct security challenge to Europe and NATO.
“Four civilians, including a doctor, were killed and more than two dozen were injured in Kyiv after a horrific night of Russian strikes,” Sybiha said.
