Bronze statues of Russian Bolshevik revolutionary Vladimir Lenin (L) by Czech sculptor Vladimír Reich (1979) and Czechoslovak journalist Julius Fučík by Czech sculptor Miloslav Šonka (1979) in the lapidarium in the Franciscan Gardens (Františkánské zahrady) in Cheb, Czech Republic. The statue of Lenin once stood in front of the railway station in Cheb and Julius Fučík used to stay in Františkový Lázně.
