The designers of the monument are the sculptor Matvey Manizer and the architect Igor Rozhin [ru].

[1] Sculptor Matvey Manizer designed a monument to Vladimir Lenin, which was placed in Ulyanovsk in 1940.

Manizer made a variant of this statue in 1958 for the central hall of the Soviet pavilion at the 1958 World's Fair in Brussels, for which he was awarded an Honorary Diploma.

After the completion of the exhibition, the All-Union Chamber of Commerce at the request of the Mossoviet executive committee transferred this sculpture to Moscow.

[2] The eight-meter bronze statue of Lenin is installed on a stepped pedestal of gray polished granite.
