Памятник Ленину, Lenin bronze statue at Theatre Square in Saratov, Russia
The Lenin monument in Saratov is a 9-meter bronze figure mounted on a granite pedestal at Theatre Square. The sculptor portrayed the figure with its right hand raised in a gesture meant to represent public speaking.
The monument was unveiled in 1970 to mark the 100th anniversary of Lenin's birth. It replaced an earlier statue that had previously stood at another location in the city.
The statue captures a commanding gesture meant to represent public address and leadership, a pose familiar from Soviet-era imagery. Visitors can observe the sculptor's attention to detail in the figure's posture and facial features.
The monument sits on the central Theatre Square and is easily reached by public transport. The square is surrounded by cultural institutions, so visitors can explore several attractions in the immediate area.
The granite base has a rare brownish-red color that echoes the hue of the nearby Geology Research Institute building nearby. This color matching created a visual connection between two important structures on the square.
