In the Soviet Union, many cities had statues and monuments of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, the revolutionary and leader of the Russian SFSR, better known by the nom de plume Vladimir Lenin. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, many of them were destroyed without the consent of their creators. This happened even earlier in the European post-Communist states and in the Baltic states. However, in many of the former Soviet Republics many remain, and some new ones have been erected.
In 1991 Ukraine had 5,500 Lenin monuments.
In Ukraine more than 500 statues of Lenin were dismantled between February 2014 and mid-April 2015, after which nearly 1,700 remained standing. On 15 May 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. By December 2015 Lenin monuments 1,300 were still standing.
Prior to Ukraine's Euromaidan, Lenin monuments and other Soviet-era monuments were already being removed. However, in 2008, the 139th anniversary of Lenin, two new Lenin monuments were erected in Luhansk Oblast.
In April 2015, a formal decommunization process started in Ukraine after laws were approved which, among other acts, outlawed communist symbols. In August 2017, Ukraine has already removed all the remaining 1,320 statues of Lenin to get rid of its Soviet past. Two Lenin statues in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone are the only two remaining statues of Lenin in Ukraine.
In May 2016 Dnipropetrovsk was itself was officially renamed to Dnipro to comply with decommunization laws.
