This bronze mini-sculpture by sculptor Mykhailo Kolodko and blacksmith Roman Murnyk was inaugurated on November 11, 2017 at 11 a.m. 11 min. near the bus and railway stations of Uzhgorod (GPS: 48.609164, 22.298584). It was made in the form of a railway car from the First World War. This symbolic mini-wagon was installed on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the October Revolution.
This mini-sculpture is a kind of farewell to the history and ideology of Bolshevism. Pioneers came to see off Lenin at the opening of this grotesque mini-sculpture. So it is not surprising that the mini-sculpture was called “Hasta la vista, Lenin”.

As for the shape of the mini-sculpture, it is not chosen by chance, but reflects an important historical moment. In April 1917, during the First World War, V. Lenin appealed to the German government with a proposal to let him and his party associates pass to the Russian Empire, which at that time was at war with Germany. The German government allowed V. Lenin to pass because it hoped that Lenin would be able to organize a coup in Russia and end the war with Germany. Lenin fulfilled the expectations of the Germans by concluding with them, after coming to power, a separate peace of Brest-Litovsk. However, this did not save Germany from losing the First World War. Lenin and his comrades made their journey from Switzerland to Russia through the territory of Germany in a sealed carriage, which Mykhailo Kolodko recreated in his mini-sculpture. If you take a flashlight and look inside the wagon, you can see the bust of the leader of the world proletariat.
