A 9-meter bronze statue of the Soviet Union founder Vladimir Lenin, weighing 17,000 kilograms, has been temporarily relocated from Tjuchem to Oostwold in the municipality of Oldambt, according to RTV Noord. It will serve as a set piece for the music theater performance De Graanrepubliek by Zummerbühne, which runs from 5 August to 6 September in Oostwold. The move of the statue, which has stood for decades in the Groningen region, required significant effort.
