Using Google & searching for "Lenin statue Chernobyl" the first thing to come up was this quote: "On 16 January 2017, the Ukraninan Institute of National Remembrance announced that 1,320 Lenin monuments were dismantled during decommunizatuon. Two Lenin statues in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone are the only two remaining statues of Lenin in Ukraine."
I mean after reading "Lenin: A New Biography", "The Russian Revolution" & "Russia Under The Bolsheviks", it's just been mind boggling to me that there are Vladimir Lenin statutes anywhere considering the aftermath of that revolution & horrors that Russia particularly went through for a long time in the 20th century. Unsure why Seattle has a statue of him. Anyway, thanks for that news tonight.
