we have a lenin statue...in ny i think...and another someplace in the states
The one in ny was originally commissioned by the U.S.S.R., but the socialist state’s dismantling in 1989 prohibited it from going on display overseas. Red Square, built in that same year, proved a suitable home. Bowery Boogie says Red Square developers Michael Rosen and Michael Shaoul “reportedly found it trashed in a backyard just outside Moscow and installed it five years later” in 1994.
