Ленин, Regional cultural heritage geoglyph in Makachava, Russia
Letters forming the word 'Lenin' were created by planting spruce trees, stretching 100 meters in length with letters 30 meters high and 16 meters wide.
Local school students planted the trees in 1924 following Lenin's death, creating a lasting monument visible from aerial perspectives through the strategic placement of vegetation.
The site received regional cultural heritage status in January 2024, cementing its position as a significant example of Soviet-era land art in Vologda Oblast.
The geoglyph stands perpendicular to the road past Makachava village, near the former cemetery location, with the central letter 'N' marked by a Lenin bust.
In 1970, acacia bushes were added near the spruce trees to form the number '100', commemorating Lenin's centenary through an additional natural inscription.
