[edit] Cities, towns, settlements and districts

[edit] Streets

It should be noted that almost every town in Soviet Union had a street named after Lenin. After the collapse of the USSR, many of those were renamed, but many others retained their names. This concerns also the names of city districts. Listed below some of the streets named after Lenin, mostly outside the former USSR.

[edit] Other places

A very large number of enterprises and other objects in the Soviet Union and other countries of the Socialist bloc were named after Lenin. For example: the nuclear powered icebreaker Lenin; Lenin Stadium. Also, every reasonably large settlement had a Lenin Street or Lenin Avenue ("Leninsky Prospekt").
