This is a photo of the Vladimir Lenin statue in Ploshchad Lenina, Saint Petersburg, Russia. It was erected in 1926 (two years after his death, and at a time when the city was called Leningrad) and it shows Lenin on his return from exile, giving a speech. I took this photo in 1997 when I was in Saint Petersburg for business. Although the economy was beginning to open up, there was still a lot of Soviet Union imagery around. When I took this photo, the sky was almost white. I've used a digital imaging effect to bring some colour into the sky and reveal the grain of the film. I'm not normally keen on tricksy photo effects, but I think this brings some atmosphere to this photo.
