Monument in honor of V.I. Lenin at the building of the Siberian State University of Water Transport

Sculpture in honor of V.I. Lenin in front of the Palace of Labor (at the moment – Siberian State University of Water Transport (SSUWT), 33 Shchetinkina str.) was the first monument to the leader in the city of Novosibirsk. It is part of the Palace of Labor complex, which includes, in addition to sculpture, the Palace of Labor building and the Cinema "Protletkino" ("Victory").

Bronze sculpture to V.I. Lenin is one of the four cast one at the Leningrad plant "Red vyborzhets". A similar sculpture by V.V. Kozlov was installed in front of the Smolny Institute of Noble Maidens in the city of Leningrad in honor of the 10th anniversary of October.

Opened on November 6, 1927, in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of October, the monument was located on the front steps of the Palace of Labor on the pedestal. In the 1950s, the monument was moved to the square and was located at the intersection of its diagonal axes in front of the building. It was installed on the high pedestal, facing the facade of the building. In 1978, the pedestal of the monument was reconstructed due to the project of the architect N.I. Bolotin and L.N. Meshcheriakova.

Monument in honor of V.I. Lenin is recognized as a monument of monumental art of regional importance.
