      I actually don’t know anything about those. Were they put there while the soviet union still existed/built by the soviet union themselves, or were they put there later after by some fan of the soviet union? If the goal is to keep what is historical, regardless of political context, that would be the key distinction in my opinion.

        soviet union (mass-produced and) placed them literally everywhere.
        there’s at least one lenin or stalin statue per major street, some countries are just starting removing them, but it’s a really long process due to sheer amount of them, regulations and stuff.
        the amount of these things is somewhat absurd
