Lenin watches on over increasingly indifferent Russians
To reach the gigantic statue of Vladimir Lenin that overlooks Moscow's October Square, pedestrians can stroll down streets named after the Bolshevik revolutionary's wife or mother, or cross Lenin Avenue that intersects with a road named after his brother. More than a quarter of a century has passed since the fall of Communism but reminders of the Soviet Union's founding father Lenin -- who died on January 21, 1924 -- are still easy to find.
Statue Of Lenin and The Ghost of Communism. Real Russia ep.13
Why the Russian Government do not remove the statues of Lenin and who the heck is Lenin at all?
Is there still Communism in Russia?
How just random people in the streets compare the current live in Russia and life in USSR.

Holland/Lithuania - Giant statue of Lenin
T/I 11:24:41
As the Soviet system collapsed, so did its people tear down and
destroy its symbols and heroes.
One man, however, has resurrected one of the most identifiable
symbols of the Communist era -- a giant statue of Vladimir
Ilyich Lenin.
Dutch businessman Henry Koop went to Germany to buy a surviving
statue of the leader of the Russian Revolution, then had it
transported to one of his farms near the village of Tjuchem.
Koop is worried that the agricultural regulations laid down by
the European Union are too severe and that unless changed,
Europe could find itself in a position similar to that of Russia
in 1917.

RUSSIA: MOSCOW: COMMUNISTS MARK 127TH BIRTHDAY OF VLADIMIR LENIN
Eng/Russ/Nat
Russia's communists Tuesday marked the 127th birthday of Vladimir Lenin, the founder of the Soviet State.
Hundreds gathered on Moscow's Red Square to lay flowers at the mausoleum which has housed Lenin's mummified corpse since his death in 1924.
Although treated like a god by the Soviets, Lenin and his ideology have been largely ignored since the break-up of the Soviet Union.
And there is now a debate raging over whether his remains should be removed from Red Square and buried in St Petersburg.
Scenes like this would never have been permissible during the days of the Soviet Union, especially on Lenin's birthday.
These people want the founder of the Soviet Union removed from his mausoleum on Red Square and buried next to his mother in St. Petersburg.
Reform-minded politicians say the time has come for Lenin to disappear from public display.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
We are still not on the right path. As long as the red stars hang over the Kremlin and as long as that beast remains buried on Red Square, reforms will not be carried out.
SUPER CAPTION: Valeriya Novodvorskaya, Democratic Union
But Lenin still has his group of supporters.
You'd be hard pressed to find anyone visiting his grave on a regular weekday afternoon.
But not so on Tuesday - hundreds of Communists came out to pay their undying respect for their hero, who was born on 22 April 1870.
Present day Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov calls Lenin one of the world's greatest politicians and thinkers.
He wants Lenin to stay where he is to let the future generation of Communists see him with their own eyes.
To mark the anniversary of Lenin's birth, these young children joined the Pioneer movement, the first step on the path of becoming a good Communist.
SOUNDBITE:
They are choosing glory to their motherland, the best traditions, respect for their parents and for working people, good education. Kids, let's go together and bow our heads to the ones who worked for the rebirth of our country this century.
SUPER CAPTION: Gennady Zyuganov, leader Russian Communist Party
For those people not satisfied with the present course of reforms in Russia, Lenin's ideas of a perfect socialist world still ring true.
On Tuesday, they stood for hours to catch a glimpse of their leader.
His body lies mummified and gets a yearly dose of the necessary fluids to keep him intact.
Some doctors in Russia say there are enough living cells left in Lenin's body to clone him in time for the next century.
There are many Russians who would welcome the return of Lenin - if cloned.
The people who came to see Lenin Tuesday think capitalism has failed in Russia - they believe only Lenin's ideas are capable of bringing Russia out of its despair.
SOUNDBITE:
Russia only gives birth to someone like Lenin once every thousand years. No one will come to see Yeltsin a year after he dies, let alone 70 years. People will come only to throw rocks at his grave.
SUPER CAPTION: Ludmilla, Lenin supporter
Moscow was once filled with hundreds of statues depicting Lenin in his various glorious revolutionary poses.
Today there are a handful left in the whole country.
But while Lenin and his ideology have been forced to take a back seat in today's capitalist Russia, there are those who forecast a comeback if the population's living standards continue to fall
SOUNDBITE:
When they will have enough evidence that their needs are simply ignored by the government, by the president, by the parliament even, in that case there are all the chances that the Leninist ideas will be revived and the new generations will accept them fully.

Vladimir Lenin Statue In Kolkata
Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov,better known by the alias Lenin (22 April 1870– 21 January 1924), was a Russian communist revolutionary, politician and political theorist. He served as head of government of Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1924 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924. Under his administration, Russia and then the wider Soviet Union became a one-party communist state governed by the Russian Communist Party. Ideologically a Marxist, he developed political theories known as Leninism.
Born to a wealthy middle-class family in Simbirsk, Lenin embraced revolutionary socialist politics following his brother's 1887 execution. Expelled from Kazan Imperial University for participating in protests against the Russian Empire's Tsarist government, he devoted the following years to a law degree. He moved to Saint Petersburg in 1893 and became a senior Marxist activist. In 1897, he was arrested for sedition and exiled to Shushenskoye for three years, where he married Nadezhda Krupskaya. After his exile, he moved to Western Europe, where he became a prominent theorist in the Marxist Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP). In 1903, he took a key role in a RSDLP ideological split, leading the Bolshevik faction against Julius Martov's Mensheviks. Encouraging insurrection during Russia's failed Revolution of 1905, he later campaigned for the First World War to be transformed into a Europe-wide proletarian revolution, which as a Marxist he believed would cause the overthrow of capitalism and its replacement with socialism. After the 1917 February Revolution ousted the Tsar and established a Provisional Government, he returned to Russia to play a leading role in the October Revolution, in which the Bolsheviks overthrew the new regime.

The 'Biggest' Fall of Lenin: Biggest Lenin statue in Ukraine pulled down in Zaporizhia
A 20-metre statue of Soviet dictator Vladimir Lenin has been taken down in the Ukrainain city of Zaporizhia. The dismantling process took more than 30 hours. Several hundred people gathered at the central square to see the toppling. A German national is reportedly expressing interest in buying the monument.
The Zaporizhia statue is the biggest bust of Lenin in Ukraine. It was installed in 1964. In recent years, local activists made two attempts to take it down. In early February 2016 the city council approved its dismantling.
Dozens of statues of Communist revolutionary Lenin have been toppled in Ukraine since 2013. Their falling has been greeted as a symbol of Ukraine's push to break from its Soviet past. The first demolitions coincided with the pro-EU Maidan protests against Moscow-backed former President Viktor Yanukovych.

Russia: Lenin hides portrait of Tsar Nicholas II for almost 100 years
Lenin replaced Tsar Nicholas II in more ways than one, as a portrait of the last Tsar was discovered on the reverse side of the Bolshevik leader's portrait, as shown at St. Petersburg's Stieglitz Art and Industry Academy, on Thursday. The discovery was made by experts after an x-ray revealed a second face right next to Lenin's.
The portrait has been on loan at Stieglitz Academy since 2013 from the State Russian Museum for restoration works. The painting of the Tsar had gone undiscovered for the last 90 years as it had been masked beneath the paint used by Soviet artist Vladislav Izmailovich for Lenin's portrait.
Vasily Kichedzhi, Rector at Stieglitz Art and Industry Academy (Russian): The artist [Vladislav Izmailovich] who painted Lenin was a very good artist. Even then he understood that times were changing and so he used washable paints and painted several layers and in so doing saved a beautiful portrait of Nicholas II. He clearly understood that he was risking his life for it, because in those times if somebody, spotted him whilst he was doing it and didn't trust him he would be shot.
