Памятник Ленину, Lenin Monument in Lenin Square, Orenburg, Russia
The Lenin Monument is a bronze statue mounted on a granite base in Orenburg's central square. The figure stands prominently and commands the surrounding area through its scale and positioning.
The monument was created in 1925 by sculptor Vasily Kozlov shortly after the Soviet Union's founding. It was part of the broader effort to establish monumental landmarks in Soviet cities during that period.
The statue reflects the Soviet tradition of monumental portraiture that shaped public spaces across the country. It continues to anchor the central square's appearance and serves as a gathering point in daily city life.
The monument is centrally located and easily accessible from various parts of the city. The surrounding area is walkable and offers clear sightlines for navigating the nearby streets.
The monument carries federal cultural heritage protection status, distinguishing it from many other Lenin statues that were removed across Russia. This designation reflects its artistic and architectural significance.
