Lenin's Monument

Here are still several monument's to Lenin in the city - not because people worship this historic person - but mainly for their aestetic / nostalgic value. Soviet architecture was not that bad, it seems now, even though pragmatic - and often it is found that removing old monuments makes places looking wrong and silly. This one is in front of Finland Railway Station (here trains start mainly in northern direction), on the eponymous Lenin's Square.
