Bronze statue of Vladimir Lenin (1925) by Soviet sculptor Matvey Manizer on display in the Gеrman Histоrical Musеum (Dеutsches Histоrisches Musеum) in Bеrlin, Gе After the German Wehrmacht had taken the town of Pushkin near Leningrad in the Soviet Union (now Saint Petersburg in Russia), they took the bronze monuments as a part of the war booty. In summer 1943 it was brought to Eisleben to the Mansfeld AG smelter. As it was fairly large and there was enough metal available for smelting it remained intact.
