The base for the bust in Norway actually looks nicer than most that were installed in the former USSR.

Pieter, good job. There are two statues of Lenin in Spitzbergen. One in the ghost town Pyramiden:  and another in Baretnsburg, the largest Russian city in Spitzbergen:  I did not know about the Arctic one. I guess, since Lenin is frozen there it would last forever. |
