List of sculptures of Vladimir Lenin

This article is a list of current and former known sculptures of Vladimir Lenin. Many of the monuments in former Soviet republics and people's republics were removed after the fall of the Soviet Union, while some of these countries, mainly Russia and Belarus, retained the thousands of Lenin statues that were erected during the Soviet period.

Important regions and capital cities are highlighted in bold.

The golden bust of Lenin still stands as of 2025.

All statues were taken down in 1991 or soon after, most eventually winding up in Grutas Park. They were erected during the Soviet period and stood, among other places, in Vilnius (at least two statues, one of them together with Lithuanian communist leader Kapsukas), Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai, Jonava, Druskininkai, and Jurbarkas (the Jurbarkas Lenin is now part of an installation in Europos Parkas park in Vilnius).

In 1939–1941, after the attack of the Red Army, statues of Lenin were in: Sokółka, Augustów, Kolno, Suwałki, Białystok (pulled down in June 1941), Łomża, Choroszcz (3x), Brańsk, Bielsk Podlaski, Jedwabne, Siemiatycze, Śniadowo, Czyżewo (pulled down July 5, 1941), Zaręby Kościelne, Zambrów, Przemyśl, Lubaczów, Łapy, Zabłudów etc.

Out of 7,000 Lenin statues as of 1991, Russia retained the vast majority. As of 2022, there are approximately 6,000 monuments to Lenin in Russia.

In 1991 Ukraine had 5,500 Lenin monuments.

Before Ukraine's Euromaidan, Lenin monuments and other Soviet-era monuments were already being removed. However, in 2008, the 139th anniversary of Lenin, two new Lenin monuments were erected in Luhansk Oblast (now occupied by Russia).
