There are quite a few “statue parks” in Russia where they dumped all the old communist statues. Row after row of lenins, the odd khrushchev or brezhnev, a rare stalin tucked down the back. Lots of actually pretty good art of the common people looking super swole as they march into a glorious future.
All sitting in a muddy field in the outer suburbs of Moscow or Petersburg. It’s a tourist trap but I found it to be a pretty poetic experience when I visited.
In Russia those Soviet monuments are like dirt, you still can see some Lenin statues here and there.

First of all there’s Museon near the Gorky Park, where one of such places is combined with a memorial to Stalinism’s victims.
