Памятник Владимиру Ильичу Ленину, Statue of Lenin on Red Square, Kursk, Russia

The monument to Vladimir Lenin on Red Square consists of a bronze statue on a pedestal designed by architects A. P. Velikanov and I. E. Rozhin. The statue was cast at the Leningrad plant Monument Skulptura. The square around it was laid out by architect S. I. Fedorov.

Sculptor P.P. Yatsino created the statue, which was installed in 1933 and became a central landmark in the city. The monument was rebuilt after sustaining damage during World War II, establishing its role as a lasting symbol in the city.

The monument was funded by Kursk workers, and the 1924 appeal published in Kurskaya Pravda called for a memorial on Red Square. Sculptor P. P. Yatsino's statue was unveiled on 1 September 1933. After wartime destruction, Matvey Manizer restored it, and the recast statue was unveiled on 5 November 1956.

The monument is accessible daily and located in the center, making it easy to reach on foot. The surrounding plaza offers space to walk around and take photographs, with nearby benches for those who want to sit.

The 1933 statue by P. P. Yatsino was destroyed in World War II; the current figure was cast at the Leningrad Monument Sculpture plant and re-unveiled on 5 November 1956. Sculptor M. G. Manizer, a People's Artist of the USSR, led the restoration, and architects A. P. Velikanov and I. E. Rozhin designed the pedestal.
