Monument VI Lenin Photo: Monument To Lenin

At all times it was believed that the monument is dedicated to a particular person, is set on the homonymous street. For example, a commemorative monument M. S. Babushkin is on the street grandma in the city of Syktyvkar, respectively, the monument to Lenin is Lenin street.

It was difficult to find a locality in the entire Soviet Union, which did not appear would be the Avenue or street named after a "world leader of the proletariat". As mentioned, in Syktyvkar, there is such a street that is not surprising, since Lenin for a long period of time was listed as a symbol of the Soviet era. At the time it was Lenin headed the Bolshevik party. This era in history has taken Russia for about 70 years.

It is worth noting that the Syktyvkar also almost hit lists "dedicated to Vladimir Ilyich. After Lenin's death, which occurred in 1924, Ust-Sysolsk (then he wore that name) was almost renamed to "Vladimirionin". By happy coincidence, this event did not happen, although the street and the monument to the leader still was the place to be. The most significant events in the life of the working people, had to do with any state dates. In continuation of the jubilee days there was a tradition of perestiani ribbons at the newly-built facilities, with advanced production leaders necessarily awarded medals or awards, and also opened a commemorative monuments and plaques.

1967 was particularly significant for the whole country, including the Komi ASSR, because this year was held the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the October revolution. A landmark event Syktyvkar became the opening of the monument to Lenin in the Central St. Stephen's square, which was renamed the Jubilee. The author of the sculpture, made of granite, are people's artists of the USSR V. I. Boykin and L. E. Kerbel, as well as architects V. K. Datuk and S. A. Feoktistov.

It should be noted that not only the structure but also the development of the project of the monument was spent a huge amount of effort. Work on the creation of the monument to Lenin was not started immediately, because they should have been preceded by a lot of the necessary preparatory work. The original model of the monument made in full growth from plywood, installed on the square to derive the final grade. The monument was a granite pylon that goes into the figure of Lenin in the background of the banner. The sculpture reflects the slogan: "Lenin is our banner! ". Once the model was exposed, it became clear that a large banner somewhat distracts the eyes from the person that disrupts visual perception. It was decided to truncate the banner that somewhat fixed position.

A statue of Lenin until today serves as the organizational core of the Central city square, speaking as part of an architectural ensemble, including rostrum, granite steps and a platform, equipped with a backlight.

As soon as the USSR collapsed, the country was declared a democratic state, and that therefore the role of Lenin was greatly diminished. All existing monuments in his honor began to communicate, and named after him the street was renamed. But in Syktyvkar, Lenin statue stands today.
