Ivanovo's Lenin monument is located on Ploschad Lenin (Lenin Square), as is to be expected, which is located far up on Prospekt Lenina north of the River Uvod. This monument was unveiled in 1956 and depicts Lenin standing on a pedestal in his usual pose holding the lapel of his long coat. It stands at 4.5 metres tall and replaced an earlier version which was deemed too small and dwarfed by the surrounding buildings.
