On the other side of the river, where the smoke did not reach, set many large villas, which made this side to be called "the delightful side".

Lenin Monument April 13th 1917
''Lenin Monument April 13th 1917'' is a 1977 public art installation by Swedish artist Björn Lövin. It is part of the outdoor collection of Moderna Museet in Stockholm and is located on Skeppsholmen near the museum's main entrance. The artist made the installation based on a 1917 Axel Malmström photograph of Vladimir Lenin and entourage leaving the Stockholm Central Station on foot. The installation was first exhibited in 1977 at Kulturhuset, Stockholm, as part of Lövin's exhibition ''Minnet sviker'' (Failed Memory), and was purchased by Moderna Museet the same year. The work recreates a cobblestone street section in which the title character is absent and only represented by a cross-mark. Unlike a huge number of Lenin monuments and statues around the world, this work is not a celebration of the disputed Russian revolutionary. Instead, it is rather an anti-monument – a "nonument" – that challenges the underlying power structures that determine which sites, people and d ...
