Two men impersonating Soviet leaders Vladimir Lenin and Josef Stalin got into a fight on Manezh Square on Monday when Stalin accused Lenin of working with another Stalin behind his back, city news agency Moskva reported.
Latifa Valiyev, who works as a Stalin double, accused his partner Igor Gorbunov — a Lenin double — of working with his rival, another Stalin impersonator posing for photos with tourists on Manezh Square.
During the heated exchange, Valiyev hit Gorbunov with an umbrella three times, the report said.
