Aleksandrov's main square is Ploschad Lenina and so of course it comes as no surprise that there is a statue of Vladimir Lenin here, standing in his usual pose in front of the local administration building.  Before Lenin the square was known as Sobornaya Ploschad (Cathedral Square) as its other dominant feature is the Nativity of Christ Cathedral.  Today the square is often also referred to using its old name, leading to some confusion.
