All over Russia, from the large metropolitan cities to the small rural villages, you will find a memorial to Vladimir Lenin.
A large city such as Vladivostok, has a prominent memorial to Vladimir Lenin, the leader of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution that toppled the Russian Tsar Nicholas II.

Vladimir Lenin's Memorial in Vladivostok is right-smack-dab in the center of town directly across from the Vladivostok Railway Station, the end of the Trans-Siberian Railway.
Below is his surname in Russian cyrillic.
The first letter (Λ) below, the upside down V, is a modern version of the traditional letter Л which is the proper Russian cyrillic symbol for the letter 'L'.
He has a nice view of the Vladivostok Railway Station and the harbor in the distance.
A nice park surrounds his monument.
The above photos were taken on Saturday the 31st of August, the first sunny day in a week. We, my friends here in Vladivostok and myself, were 'making-tracks' to see and to photograph all we could see and do in our 6 hour trek around town.
Today's Rhetorical Question : Aren't we living in an amazing world of Information technology?
Who on earth is Anna Shchetinina?
After seeing Lenin's Memorial, off we raced to see a memorial to a lady who was a very famous ship captain.
So into Google I typed these words :
Vladivostok memorial to the first female ship captain.
And will you all just look at what popped up on Wikipedia!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Shchetinina
Anna's name in Russian cyrillic.
I snapped the below photos of the Russky Bridge and a tiny portion of the Vladivostok Harbor from Anna's Memorial.
A short Post? Yes BUT I hope it was also sweet.
