In three songs, which are said to have been sung to Lenin in the eastern regions of the Soviet Union, a heroic portrait of the revolutionary leader is drawn as a philanthropist, savior of peoples and perfecter of human history.

1st song (from 3:40): "My face was caught in darkness ..."

2nd song (from 18:44): "We loved him as we love our steppes ..."

3rd song (from 38:38): "In a great city made of stone ..."

The connecting element between the three songs is film recordings of the - empty - bench in the park of Lenin's death house in Gorky , which had achieved iconographic fame through several photographs of Lenin sitting on it.
