Ukraine

Kyiv, Ukraine. The Lenin statue was toppled and dismantled on December 8, 2013, during the Euromaidan

In 1991 Ukraine had 5,500 Lenin monuments.[104]

Before Ukraine's Euromaidan, Lenin monuments and other Soviet-era monuments were already being removed.[105][106] However, in 2008, the 139th anniversary of Lenin, two new Lenin monuments were erected in Luhansk Oblast (now occupied by Russia).[107]

Following the 2014 Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine, more than 500 statues of Lenin were dismantled between February 2014 and April 2015, after which nearly 1,700 remained standing.[citation needed] On May 15, 2015, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko signed a bill into law that set a six-month deadline for the removal of the country's communist monuments.[108] By December 2015, 1,300 Lenin monuments were still standing (in Ukraine).[104]

In April 2015, a formal decommunization process started in Ukraine after laws were approved which, among other acts, outlawed communist symbols.[109]

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, many of these statues of Lenin, which had been taken down by Ukrainian activists, were re-erected by Russian occupiers and collaborationists in Russian-controlled areas.[110][111][112][113]

In May 2016 Dnipropetrovsk was itself officially renamed to Dnipro to comply with decommunization laws.[127]
