At all times it was thought that a monument dedicated to any person, is installed on the same street. For example, a memorial monument to MS Babushkin Babushkin located on the street in the city of Syktyvkar, respectively, a monument to Lenin - standing on Lenin Street.

It was hard to find a town in the Soviet Union, which did not appear to a prospectus or a street named in honor of the "world leader of the proletariat." As mentioned, in Syktyvkar, too, there is a street that is not surprising, since Lenin for a long period of time was listed as a symbol of the Soviet era. At the time, it was Lenin led the Bolshevik Party. This epoch in the history of Russia took about 70 years.

It is worth noting that Syktyvkar, too, almost got in the "dedicated to Vladimir Ilyich." After Lenin's death, which occurred in 1924, Ust-Sysolsk (when he wore the name) was nearly renamed the "Vladimirolenin." By happy coincidence of this event did not happen, although the street and a monument to the leader still had the place to be. Most significant events in the life of the working people, were related to any government dates. Continuing a tradition of commemorative days pererezyvaniya ribbons on novovystroennyh facilities, with advanced production leaders necessarily be awarded with medals and orders, and opened the commemorative monuments and plaques.

1967 has become particularly important for the whole country, including the Komi Republic, because it is held this year celebrating the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution. Syktyvkar significant event was the opening of a monument dedicated to Lenin in the central square Stefanovskaya, now renamed the Jubilee. The author of the sculpture, made of granite, steel folk artists of the USSR VI Buyakin and LE Kerbel, as well as architects VK Datyuk and SA Feoktistov.

It should be noted that not only the construction but also for the design of the monument has been spent a huge amount of effort. Work on the creation of the monument to Lenin began immediately, because it was preceded by a lot of the necessary preparatory work. The original model of the monument made in full growth of plywood, installed on the square for the estimation of the final evaluation. The monument is a granite pylon, which turns into a figure of Lenin on the background of the flag. The sculpture reflects the slogan "Lenin - our banner! ". Once the model has been exposed, it became clear that a large number of distracting banner gaze from the very person that violates the visual perception. It was decided to truncate the banner that a few things right.

Lenin monument to this day serves as an organizational core of the central city area, acting as a part of an architectural ensemble, which includes the platform, granite steps and a platform equipped with a backlight.

Once the Soviet Union collapsed, the country declared a democratic state, for which reason the role of Lenin greatly diminished. All existing monuments in his honor began to communicate, and streets named after him were renamed. But in Syktyvkar statue of Lenin stands today.
