List of statues of Lenin
|
|
In the Soviet Union, every city had several monuments of Vladimir Lenin. With the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, many statues of Vladimir Lenin were torn down. This happened even earlier in the European post-Communist states and in the Baltic states. However some remain, and some new ones have been erected.
