About statues and erasing history...

Do the names Saddam Hussein, Josef Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, King George ring any bells?

I can’t for the life of me place who they were. When their statues were toppled, all historical accounts of them magically disappeared, too.

Anyone remember these people by some weird chance?

They're defunct now (went out of business years ago) but as a kid I remember they had some great food.
