In excellent condition. Very light layer of patina enhances the 3D effect of the artwork. There are no significant scuffing, staining, scratches, knocks or any other damage. Only the rim shows traces of wear, and minuscule ones at that.

The monument was erected in 1928. Its location is on the outskirts of the city of Sestroretsk near St. Petersburg. Lenin spent there a few weeks in a hut-like shelter hiding from the Provisional Government which had issued an arrest warrant accusing him (rightfully so!) of being a German spy.
