Lenin Monument, Soviet monument in Kopetdag District, Turkmenistan.
The Lenin Monument features a smaller statue of the Soviet leader positioned on a grand Central Asian plinth in a park off Azadi Street.
The monument was constructed during the Soviet period when Turkmenistan remained under socialist governance, representing the political influence of that era.
The monument combines Soviet artistic elements with Central Asian architectural styles, displayed through its modernist concrete sculptures by Ernst Neizvestny.
Visitors can access the monument through nearby public transportation stops and combine their visit with the Museum of Fine Arts and Carpet Museum.
The structure presents a small Lenin figure atop an extraordinarily large base, creating a distinct architectural contrast in modern Ashgabat.
