Monument to Lenin in Kaluga Square, Bronze monument in Kaluga Square, Russia
The monument features a 22-meter-tall statue of Lenin standing atop a cylindrical column made of polished red granite with sculptural compositions at its base.
Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev inaugurated this monument on November 5, 1985, marking one of the last major Lenin memorials constructed in Moscow before significant political changes.
The sculptural groups at the base depict revolutionary soldiers, workers, and sailors from different nationalities, representing the diverse support for the revolution.
The transportation of the stone monolithic pedestal required a specialized cart with 128 wheels to move its weight of 360 tons to the installation site.
The monument includes a representation of a woman with two children behind the pedestal, with one child holding revolutionary newspapers in their hands.
