Monuments to Lenin in Russia. Why Do Lenin Statues Remain?

The Soviet Union no longer exists. Nevertheless, on the streets of many cities (primarily in Russia and Belarus), you can still see many monuments to Vladimir Lenin. Many children do not even know who Vladimir Lenin is or what he did. So why aren't these monuments removed from the streets of cities?

First, this part of the country's history, whatever it may be, bad or good. These monuments remind the posterity of our country's difficulties and what the cult of personality can lead to.

Second, the vast majority of the older generation's lives were spent under Soviet slogans. They were young then, full of strength, full of optimistic expectations. Therefore, they perceive the Soviet Union in bright colors and evoke feelings of nostalgia. And Lenin, the constant attribute of the Soviet Union. Thus, the mass dismantling of Lenin sculptures will cause discontent in a sufficiently large number of people.

Several quotes by Vladimir Lenin, who sent 1/6 of the world into a frenzy.
To keep an inheritance doesn't mean being limited to this inheritance (1897).
Let me know who praises you, and I'll tell you where you went wrong (1904).
Indifference is the tacit support of the one who is a string, the one who dominates (1905).
Honesty in politics is the result of strength; hypocrisy is the result of weakness (1911).
