The first monument to V. I. Lenin

In 1925, the first monument to Lenin in the country was created at the expense of the workers of the Nevsky Plant. The work was entrusted to the sculptor Matvei Kharlamov, who twice saw the leader alive and created a realistic image of him.

The following year the monument was erected. At that time it was in the interior of the plant, and now it is clearly visible. The fact that this is the first monument to Lenin and saved it from dismantling in the 1990s, so it has survived to this day.
