The sculpture, designed by architect Lipkovsky, was made in Moscow, and then transported in parts to Magadan, where the final assembly was carried out. Link:

"Moskovsky" Lenin remained in place until 1987, when he was transported to the village of Ust-Omchug. To coincide with the 70th anniversary of the 1917 Communist Revolution. Link:

The bronze figure was cast in the Artistic Foundry Factory "Monument-Sculpture" in Leningrad. The central square was rebuilt especially for the arrival of Lenin's new statue. 'A stylobat (Link:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stylobate) of 25 × 20 meters in size and 40 cm in height was placed on top of it, covered with granodiorite tiles. A 5-meter-high pedestal was reinforced in the stylobat, lined with pink granite slabs ordered from Monchegorsk¹ (Мончего́рск)''. Reference:

The monument was inaugurated on October 10, 1987 in the '' Lenin square, '' now renamed the Cathedral square (where the current '' Cathedral of the Holy Trinity '' is located). ''Perestroika'' historical time and monument in the square, end of a regime (photo 1991):

The sculpture lasted only 16 years, after which, due to the reconstruction of the square, and a new political era, the monument was removed and transported to the “Praça dos Cosmonautas”, where it still stands today. The statue has a lower and more modest position on the pedestal than in the original. During the search it was not possible to find information on the current height of the pedestal where the statue is located.
Until 1985, the building of the environment of the square '' House of Soviets '' (Link:
http://samlib.ru/img/g/glushenko_a_g/ko ... -086-b.jpg) was erected and was paired with the statue.
After 1985 the building remained unfinished the USSR was already without much financial resources to the colossal project. The statue was there facing the front of the construction of the building. The statue "witnessed" the first signs of the collapse of his regime created by Lenin in 1917, with the work unfinished.
In 2001, the statue "witnessed '' the restoration of Russia with the beginning of the construction of the '' Cathedral of the Holy Trinity '' (in front of it). The statue of the communist leader '' witnessed" the inauguration of the Cathedral (we will talk about in another post by Cathedral). In its place in the cathedral square is today, the statue of "Saint Innocent - Christian missionary from Siberia and Alaska" (Alaska, today state of the USA). We will talk in another post about the monument of '' São Innocent ''.
Finally, in 2003, ''Lenin'' statue was transferred to Praça dos Cosmonautas. '' Lenin '' is now elsewhere in the city, close to the KGB building. This was the historical summary of the Monument.

Let's move on to a little research on photos of the statue.

7.2 . Small support groups (especially elderly people longing for the past regime) of Lenin and his "comrades", deposit flowers here and now hold their little rallies on Soviet remembrance holidays. Link:

7.3 Commemorative information plaque: “Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. Founder of the first state of workers and peasants in the world. USSR ".
The plaque is inserted in the front, in the statue's pedestal. Link:
https://kprf.ru/media/images/newsstory_ ... ska004.jpg
The phrase on the sign in Russian: ''Владимир Ильич Ленин. Основатель первого в мире государства рабочих и крестьян. СССР''.
8. The monument preserves the same characteristics of dimensions, and other things, as in the period of its inauguration in 1987.
However, it does not have a pink marble covering from Monchegorsk and granodiorite, it does not appear to be on the statue's pedestal.
Link:
https://travelleronamission.files.wordp ... c00207.jpg
During the research, it was not possible to determine the nature of the material used on the statue's pedestal. We suspect that the material used is cement, with a little sophisticated masonry work (in the texture of the 4 faces of the statue's pedestal).
9. Would the '' visual effect '' be the work generated by the "revolutionary" actions of the "comrades" pigeons and seagulls, would it be some kind of "animal revolution"?

The reality of the statue today (it may be unpleasant for some people, but it is a reality that the city landmark has). It's just a search.
10. Flagrant. Would it be a revolutionary action in an attempt to '' Animal revolution ''?

10.2 Link:
https://radikal.ru/lfp/s05.radikal.ru/i ... 13.jpg/htm
The reality is that the Monument is periodically targeted by pigeons and seagulls in the city. Periodically the monument is also cleaned, several ways have been tried to contain the '' vandalism '' of pigeons, seagulls, the results of reducing the effects have not been effective.

PROPOSITIONS --
So for future simulation of the monument in the games of SCS Software, the monument allows many things with animated characters, and the square of the cosmonauts as well. In the future when the map reaches the Asian part of Russia and Magadan. The creative team should be remembered and suggested for random events:
1. The statue periodically on dates of the old Soviet calendar, has small groups of admirers who pay tribute of honor to the Soviet leader.
Even with red flags. Includes date of birth and death.

2. Routinely someone puts a flower at the base of the monument. So simulating characters by placing a flower is also acceptable and realistic.

3. People feed pigeons on the square regularly.
This would be realistic especially in the summer obviously. I couldn't tell if the pigeons remain in the spring, autumn or winter.
Video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbHb_hwNigI
Some neighborhoods even had signs on which it would be forbidden to feed the pigeons.
Card type link:
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eZaiwE0Vgck/maxresdefault.jpg
Universal sign in Russia for public spaces where it is forbidden to feed birds. Written in Russian sometimes below the icon: "It is forbidden to feed birds".

Example of a plaque in another Russian city, Petrozavodsk (Sometimes it can be accompanied by some type of explanatory text of the norm.) Link:

In Magadan feeding birds was generating fines between 2,5000 rubles and 5,000 rubles, but it seems that the municipality did not have an official law prohibiting the practice (in 2020). Link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZaiwE0Vgck The video has a scene of feeding pigeons in the city.
Signs prohibiting the feeding of pigeons in city squares, and other public spaces appear to have started in 2019, as shown in the link beside information in Russian: Link:
https://rg.ru/2019/07/09/reg-dfo/v-maga ... lubej.html
The question of pigeons (it is an information) important to be better investigated, more attentively when creating the map in the city of Magadan, and the monument. This is the monument (it is the one most affected by pigeons, for some reason, inexplicable). Although there are also a large number of seagulls in the city. Feeding pigeons and seagulls is practically a '' tradition '' in the city. Regardless of this, there will probably always be actions of birds on statues and monuments.
4. Sometimes it is possible to catch a pigeon on the statue's head.

5. Periodically the monument has a team to clean. Particularly in the summer and end summer.
Link:
https://static1-repo.aif.ru/1/8c/158169 ... 0f83f1.jpg
The images of the statue during the winter do not have traces of the ''revolutionary Pombaline actions and seagulls''. But before the winter or months of cold and snow start, it seems to be clean, after the short summer, it always seems to be clean and maintained during the cold period (most of the year).
So there are 5 ideas for the possibility of a random event.
And there could still be other ideas related to the summer, which should occur in the square. The five ideas are just examples of the possibilities of random events, to generate attractiveness for truck drivers who are traveling on the map of the city of Magadan, discovering the urban landmark.
So that these events of varying frequencies, can allow unique experiences for the players. with the city space.
