Lenin on Karpinsky Street, 1a

This monumental mosaic panel was created in August 1972 on the facade of an ordinary five-story panel building. The theme is the glorious path traveled by the Soviet state. In the foreground is a large figure of V.I. Lenin, the founder of the world's first socialist state; above is the red cavalry; below are workers, peasants, scientists, intelligentsia, cosmonauts, and a rocket soaring upwards.

The authors of this complex colored glass mosaic were teachers from the Penza Art School, honored artists of the RSFSR Eduard Iodynis and Lidia Skorobogatova, assisted by Vladimir Maksimov, Yuri Goncharov, and Anatoly Afanasyev.
