What is Lenin doing in Seattle?226 viewsThis 16-foot-tall, 7-ton statue of Lenin was created by a Bulgarian sculptor, Emil Venkov, in 1988 as part of an arts competition. It stood in Czechoslovakia but was toppled in the 1989 revolution and tossed in a junkyard, where it was found and purchased by an American, who brought it to the USA.
