The Lenin statue was intended as a conversation piece and a trophy of the Cold War. It was never taken seriously, except by FReepers.

Today it's surrounded by the kind of small businesses that Lenin intended to wipe out. It's gentle irony that is missed by most.

The Lenin statue is one of my favorite Seattle artifacts (the Troll is another) and a thing I used to take guests to see. Irony on so many levels...
