The long lasting statue of Lenin was removed in accordance with an order by the City`s Residents` Representative Khural last October.

The Governor of the Capital City and Major of Ulaanbaatar, E.Bat-Uul said at this time  “the Statue of V.I.Lenin will be auctioned and placed in another place.” An owner of a different statue of Lenin asked about the statue in order to have a twin set. Anyone can be the owner of the statue.

Our journalist has followed the fate of the statue again. The Ulaanbaatar City Property Relations Agency made the decision to sell the statue in an auction because the statue has already been removed from City Property. Currently the Statue is stored at the Agency warehouse.

After removing the Statue, a tender was announced among rating agencies to evaluate the statues real price. The selected Capital Rating Center evaluated the statue at 55 million MNT.

The date of auction is not yet scheduled, but according to Sh.Tumurbaatar, the head of the City`s Property Relations Agency “the evaluation of the Statue is reasonable. We will receive details of the companies that want to participate in the auction soon. However the date of the deadline of receiving details is not scheduled yet. But we will receive details for 30 days after the date is scheduled. The auction will be held publicly with a press presence.”
