I believe that the above Lenin statue is the same
statue, dramatically modified.
From www.rybak-et-al.net/odessa.htm
"A boy in this photo is me in
1955. On the background you can see a sculpture of
Lenin and Stalin sitting on the bench and talking
to each other. For many years this sculpture was in
Odessa in the Sobor
Square whose name
originates from a beautiful church (sobor) which had
been destroyed earlier by the followers of Lenin and
Stalin. It is interesting, that in 1956, right
on the next morning after The Twentieth Congress of
The Communist Party (which convicted Stalin), Stalin
disappeared from the sculpture. It looked like he
offended with the Party and left without answering
the last Lenin's question. Lenin was left alone and
was waiting for Stalin's answer for about ten years
until the whole sculpture disappeared from the Sobor
Square."
