Flames and Guns
The sculptural adjuncts surrounding Lenin are supposed to represent flames and guns.  The sculptor did not intend this portrayal to be adulatory, but rather critical - he created it at the height of perestroika, just before the collapse of Communism, at a time when such expressions had become permissible.
