So why aren’t there any statues of, say, Czar Nikolas II? Technically, we should still have statues of him since he was a large part of Russian history. Heck, we don’t even have statues of King Louis XVI, and that’s DESPITE his being involved in our War of Independence.
Even though I don’t like the whole removal of statues of Confederates, I do think that Lenin’s statue SHOULD be removed, as well as Marx’s statue. The more we acknowledge that the event happened, the more likely it is for Russia to become Communist again. Don’t forget, Marx based the whole Communist ideology on Robespierre’s Reign of Terror, and made clear he wanted a gorier remake of it. As did Lenin. Heck, did people forget Stalin? Heck, no! Putin’s making sure they remember him at all, and they’re supporting him even though he slaughtered multiple people.

Do you realize it is a slander? It is of the same sort as linking Republicans to Ku-Klux-Klan.
Opposition ‘reformers’ propped by the Western media in Russia are Marxists. Putin is not.
