Historical note
Monuments to V.I. Lenin were massively erected throughout the Soviet Union in various cities and settlements. Feodosia, like many other cities, had such a monument symbolizing the ideology of that time.

After the collapse of the USSR and Ukraine’s independence, many Lenin monuments were dismantled as part of decommunization. The status and exact location of this monument in Feodosia need to be clarified with modern sources.
