The Soviet monument in Sofia which has been painted all ready numerous times previously, has this time been painted in the colours of the Ukrainian flag.
The artist is currently unknown and has reportedly painted the monument on Saturday night, sparking protest from Russia.
Since the monument was painted, Russia has demanded an explanation of the "vandal incident."
This is the current painting in the modifications that have previously been added to the monument in Sofia.
This was painted back in August 2013 and is a reference to the invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. The writing says "Bulgaria apologises."
Last year in August, the figures on the monument received a Pussy-Riot style makeover in honour of the anti-Putin band.
However back in 2011 the monument got, well a more action hero vibe. It included comic book characters such as superman, captain America and the Joker but also the addition of two not so action characters. Ronald McDonad and Santa Clause.
