On Ploschad Lenina (Lenin Square) around halfway up Prospekt Lenina (Lenin Prospect) is, as is only to be expected, a statue of Vladimir Lenin.  This statue depicts him with one hand in his coat pocket and one hand resting on a stand. The statue was unveiled in 1970 and is eight metres tall including the pedestal. The building behind Lenin is the City Administration and to the left of him is the Administration of the Bryansk Region.
