Vologda's main Lenin statue stands on Ploschad Svobody (Freedom Square) which is located at the start of the boulevard on Prospekt Pobedy. The bronze statue was unveiled in 1958 and is the work of sculptor Nikolai Tomsky known for his numerous statutes of the leader of the Bolsheviks. This statute is often referred to as the Big Lenin statue as there is a smaller but older version in Detsky Park and another outside the Vologda State University on Ulitsa Lenina.
