Lenin Statue

Lower East Side

A massive bronze Lenin keeps watch over the Lower East Side from his rooftop perch at Norfolk Street. Originally installed in the 1990s as a wink to the neighborhood's radical roots, the 18-foot Soviet leader disappeared for years before returning in 2018 to resume his eternal vigil.
