The statue of Vladimir Lenin intended to be placed atop the Palace of Soviets would have been just over 508 ft tall (155 m) – more than three times the height of the American Statue of Liberty (150 ft / 46 m) and just over 6.5 times the height of Vera Mukhina’s iconic 1937 statue “Worker and Collective Farmer” (76 ft / 24.3 m)
