Lenin's Plan of Monumental Propaganda is a strategy proposed by Lénin of employing visual monumental art (revolutionary slogans and monumental sculpture) as an important means for propagating revolutionary and communist ideas.

This "plan" had the significance of creating a large demand for monumental sculpture on a state level, and thus it stands at the origins of the Soviet school of sculpture. The "plan" consisted of two main projects:

  1. decorating buildings and other surfaces "traditionally used for banners and posters" with revolutionary slogans and memorial relief plaques;
  2. vast erection of "temporary, plaster-cast" monuments in honor of great revolutionary leaders and the great figures of culture.
