Statuetka młodego W. Lenina z aluminium - ZSRR lata 30. XX wieku—
€112.41
We offer you an extremely rare and valuable collector's item – an aluminium statuette depicting the young Vladimir Lenin. This unique object comes from the 1930s and was made in the Soviet Union, constituting a material trace of the era and its iconography.
The statuette is an example of early, pre-war propaganda art of the USSR. Its execution in aluminium, a material that was modern and associated with industry at the time, is no coincidence – it was meant to symbolize progress, industrialization, and the technological ambitions of the socialist state. The depiction of Lenin at a younger age differs from later, more schematic and monumental portrayals, giving this figurine a special, almost intimate character.
Who is this item for?
- Collectors of USSR historical relics – this is a must-have in any collection dedicated to the Soviet era.
- Collectors of propaganda and political art – as a vivid example of the iconography of power.
- Enthusiasts of 20th-century history – a material document of the shaping of the cult of personality.
- Connoisseurs of aluminium objects – an interesting example of the use of this metal in applied art of the 1930s.
