Imposing bronze bas-relief depicting Vladimir Lenin located inside a Kyiv metro station. The Soviet-era sculptural work presents the revolutionary leader with a proud gaze surrounded by waving flags and Cyrillic inscriptions bearing ideological quotes. This monument represents a historical testimony of the Ukrainian Soviet period, when such propaganda artworks decorated public spaces. The walls clad in red and gray marble create a solemn frame for this piece of history that recalls Ukraine's communist past before independence.
