Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, alas Lenin, doesn't need an introduction, but for those willing to dig into the details of his life, there is a great Wikipedia article, here: (

This statue can be seen in one of the two main squares of Hrodno, a historical town with significance for Belarus and Poland. It stands in a different position than the classic for Lenin statues all over Communist countries(with his right hand raised, the index finger showing the way). In this one he's simply walking. A different way to show the path to follow, I guess. Scale is about 2 times real size.
The statue is in bronze, placed on a tall plinth of stone. There is the word Lenin in Cyrillic alphabet in a plaque. Just that word. No artist name or date, as usual in Communist statuary.
