Памятник Владимиру Ильичу Ленину, Lenin monument in Theatre Square, Perm, Russia
The Lenin monument is a bronze statue at the center of Perm's Theatre Square, depicting the historical figure in an upright stance. The sculpture sits atop a pedestal with clean geometric lines and stands at the heart of the city's public space.
The monument was unveiled on October 4, 1954, during the Soviet era as a marker of political developments in the Prikamye region. Its establishment represented an important moment in how the period chose to honor its political figures.
The pedestal bears only the name 'Lenin' carved into it, with an iron wreath placed at its base. This simple approach reflects the minimalist vision the sculptor Georgy Neroda brought to the composition.
The monument sits on a public square served by tram and bus routes, with pedestrian pathways and green spaces surrounding it. Visitors can approach the site freely on foot and view it from multiple angles along the surrounding paved areas.
Lenin's grandfather, Alexander Dmitrievich Blank, worked at the Alexandrovskaya Hospital in Perm from 1841 to 1845. This family connection to the city adds a personal dimension to what otherwise appears as a purely political monument.
