It was a supposed focal point of a new housing development to be named 'Lenin Court' although the choice of Lenin proved unpopular with the local community and the bust was frequently daubed with anti-communist slogans.

Ukraine

[edit]
Kyiv, Ukraine. The Lenin statue was toppled and dismantled on December 8, 2013, during the Euromaidan
Main articles: List of Communist monuments in Ukraine, Fall of the monument to Lenin in Kyiv, Decommunization in Ukraine, and Demolition of monuments to Vladimir Lenin in Ukraine

In 1991 Ukraine had 5,500 Lenin monuments.[106]

Before Ukraine's Euromaidan, Lenin monuments and other Soviet-era monuments were already being removed.[107][108] However, in 2008, the 139th anniversary of Lenin, two new Lenin monuments were erected in Luhansk Oblast (now occupied by Russia).[109]

Following the 2014 Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine, more than 500 statues of Lenin were dismantled between February 2014 and April 2015, after which nearly 1,700 remained standing.[citation needed] On May 15, 2015, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko signed a bill into law that set a six-month deadline for the removal of the country's communist monuments.[110] By December 2015, 1,300 Lenin monuments were still standing (in Ukraine).[106]

In April 2015, a formal decommunization process started in Ukraine after laws were approved which, among other acts, outlawed communist symbols.[111]

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, many of these statues of Lenin, which had been taken down by Ukrainian activists, were re-erected by occupying Russian forces and Ukrainian collaborators in Russian-controlled areas.[112][113][114][115]

In May 2016 Dnipropetrovsk was itself officially renamed to Dnipro to comply with decommunization laws.[129]
