An Exhaustive List of Lenin Statues
For whatever reason Lenin statues litter the globe.
When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Lenin statues were pushed over and beheaded as a symbol of the society’s new openness. (That means in the countries occupied by the Russians). In Russia Lenin statues are however still a common sight. Most cities have at least one statue of Lenin and it is usually placed at Lenin square at the most central location. Small towns (up to 20 000 inhabitants) usually have an ugly low budget version or a bust instead.
