Original artwork description:

This is an oil painting on the found soviet-era portrait of Lenin. Frame dimensions 82 x 67.4 cm. The canvas is a little damaged.

In 2015 the Ukrainian government banned all symbols and images associated with the USSR. But numerous oil portraits, sculptures, monuments and other images of Lenin began to be removed from public places decades before the "decommunization laws". What happened to the hundreds of thousands portraits of former Soviet leader? Many of them are already destroyed. Some of them had been left in attics or basements. I am looking for all these forgotten things and giving them a new life.

The buyer will be responsible for paying international customs fees, determined by the country the artwork is being shipped to. Unfortunately delivery service I use does not provide service 'Delivery Duty Paid'. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to making a purchase.
