In Osh, Kyrgyzstan, the authorities decided to dismantle the world's largest monument to Lenin

In the city of Osh in Kyrgyzstan, by the decision of the local authorities, the monument to Vladimir Lenin was dismantled. It is considered one of the world's tallest monuments dedicated to the leader of the world proletariat.

As TASS reminds, Osh is the second largest after Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan. The administration assured that the decision was made based on expediency, and not because of Russophobia.

They reported that they were acting on the example of St. Petersburg and Belgorod, where monuments to Lenin were also dismantled or moved to other places.

"This is a common practice in order to improve the overall architectural and aesthetic appearance of cities. Therefore, it is not necessary to politicize this issue," the Osh Mayor's office said.

The height of the monument, located next to the Park of Love and the park of Toktogul Satylganov, is approximately 25 m. As far as we know, this is one of the highest objects dedicated to the leader of the proletariat, not only in Central Asia, but throughout the world.

The local authorities have not yet decided whether the monument will be moved to another place or the monument will be finally dismantled.

Earlier, EADaily reported that the monument to Lenin, located on one of the central squares of Bishkek, will not be dismantled. This was stated in the information policy service of the Presidential Administration of Kyrgyzstan.
