There were a whole lot of Lenin’s monuments on the territory of the USSR. And still many are solid in the cities of Russia and ex-Soviet countries. They remind of the great epoch and represent the monument to enormous labor and resources spent for the construction of great objects. This Lenin’s head at Kirov reservoir in Kyrgyzstan is of such significant monuments.
The reservoir was built in the 1960-70s for irrigation of the Talas valley in the zone of the 9-point seismic activity. Local farmers got an opportunity to grow vegetables, herbs and feed crops in an arid climate.
They also were given a cool spectacle of a massive Lenin’s head as high as a five-storey building and a picturesque high relief made by a group of artists in honor of workers of Kyrgyzstan.
