After 100 years of Russian Revolution, the influence of Vladimir Lenin still remains on monuments built across the former Soviet Union in honor of his legacy. Lenin was Russian communist revolutionary, politician and political theorist. He was born in 1870 and became one of the 20th Century's most important leaders. In a bid to champion the working class, Lenin redistributed land and nationalized industry and banks. He died in 1924 and Soviet authorities displayed his body in a mausoleum in Moscow's Red Square. His body still lies to this day. <br /><br /> Take a look at his monuments since 1917: -
