Statue of Lenin at the Revolution Square in Chelyabinsk
Statue of Lenin at the Revolution Square in Chelyabinsk, Bronze monument in Revolution Square, Chelyabinsk, Russia.
The monument is a bronze figure standing on Revolution Square in the city center, rising approximately 15 meters high with fine details throughout. It depicts Lenin in an upright posture and is clearly visible from the surrounding architecture.
The monument was created by sculptor Vitaly Zaykov and architect Evgeniy Aleksandrov, with its official inauguration on November 5, 1959. It was one of many monuments built during the Soviet era to honor the founders of the Soviet movement.
The statue depicts Lenin in a characteristic Soviet pose that visitors encounter while walking through the city center. It has become a local reference point where people gather and reflect on the area's long history.
The square is centrally located and easily reached from multiple directions within the city, especially from nearby administrative buildings. Visitors should note that the open square is exposed to all weather conditions, so plan accordingly for protection.
The monument remained standing after the Soviet Union dissolved, unlike many similar statues that were removed across former Soviet territories. This choice reflects the city's unique decision to preserve its historical legacy.
