Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. The collapse of the Soviet Union between 1989 - 1992 also led to the collapse of the "Iron Curtain", and during this time all manner of Soviet era iconography were being removed. Statues were pulled down and destroyed across the former Soviet states, and the numerous emblems of Vladimir Lenin, the first head of the Soviet Socialist State, were removed. Luckily, this example was taken down off the building it was attached to, and safely tucked away, so it has survived until today. It is a lovely hammered sheet bronze bust of Vladimir Lenin, which measures 19"W x 22"H. It still shows the four brazed on anchors where it used to be attached to a building, though it also has had holes and a hanging wire drilled in the very top.
Just what every Cold War enthusiast needs!
Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (22 April 1870 – 21 January 1924), better known as Vladimir Lenin, was a Russian lawyer, revolutionary, politician, and political theorist. He served as the first and founding head of government of Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1924 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924. Under his administration, Russia, and later the Soviet Union, became a one-party socialist state governed by the Communist Party. Ideologically a Marxist, his development of the ideology is known as Leninism.
