You can read the pros and cons at e.g. https://seattle.curbed.com/2019/8/27/20830552/seattle-fremont-vladimir-lenin-statue-history. Arrival490 viewsNick, Jane and Sandie congratulate one another on reaching our destination on foot and unscathed, after an arduous and arduous hike of four or five blocks. What is Lenin doing in Seattle?485 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. Flames and Guns483 viewsThe 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. Popular Ogre481 viewsThe Fremont Troll is one of the most popular attractions in Seattle, and it was impossible to get a shot with no people in the picture without waiting for nightfall, and I didn't want to wait that long.
