List of statues of Lenin
Many cities in the Soviet Union had monuments of Vladimir Lenin. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, many statues of Vladimir Lenin were broken with no permission from their authors. This happened even earlier in the European post-Communist states and in the Baltic States. However, in many of the former Soviet Republics (namely Russia, Belarus and Ukraine) many remain, and some new ones have been erected.
In Ukraine Lenin monuments and other Soviet-era monuments are still being removed. But on the occasion of the 139th anniversary of Lenin two new Lenin monuments where erected in Luhansk Oblast.
