| Lenin's face on the red flag of Communism. |

| A sort of homage to Lenin... |
As you can see these aren't just small paintings or murals, but large carved decorations. All of them feature the Hammer & Sickle, the 5 point star and a reoccurring theme of violence & war, Lenin is also pretty present in all of them. They all emphasize certain dates in Soviet history - 1905, 1917, 1941.
