The 1984 bronze Lenin that stood for nearly two decades on Ala-Too Square was moved here to the Old Square in 2003 — not destroyed, just relocated. He stands with one arm extended in front of a marble plinth, with his back to the Soviet-era parliament building. The pose and bearing are exactly the same as on dozens of other surviving Lenins across the former Soviet Union; what makes this one notable is its size and its central position in a capital city.
The plinth still carries Lenin's name in Cyrillic; no major effort has been made to remove or contextualise the statue. It is one of the simpler things to see on a walk between Ala-Too and Panfilov Park.
