    In Russia those Soviet monuments are like dirt, you still can see some Lenin statues here and there.

      There are quite a few “statue parks” in Russia where they dumped all the old communist statues. Row after row of lenins, the odd khrushchev or brezhnev, a rare stalin tucked down the back. Lots of actually pretty good art of the common people looking super swole as they march into a glorious future.

      All sitting in a muddy field in the outer suburbs of Moscow or Petersburg. It’s a tourist trap but I found it to be a pretty poetic experience when I visited.

        First of all there’s Museon near the Gorky Park, where one of such places is combined with a memorial to Stalinism’s victims.
