If this is what you guys are talking about:

I can confirm that it is indeed a statue of Lenin. I've actually read a 
story many years ago about Theremin's visit to Lenin to demonstrate the 
device. Wikipedia has something to say on this subject:

Theremin also demonstrated a "human presence" detector, which would set off 
an alarm if someone got too close to the antennas.

Best regards,
