Stalin with His Work On Leninism
This marble statue (mid-20th c.) shows Joseph Stalin standing in uniform, holding his 1924 work On Leninism. The monumental scale and rigid pose elevate him above visitors, stressing physical and ideological authority. By pairing Stalin with his own text on Lenin’s ideas, the monument reinforces his claim to be Lenin’s heir and exemplifies the Stalinist cult of personality.
