history

Lenin monument

The trail was named after Vladimir Ilyich Lenin in 1952. Lenin lived with his wife Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaja and mother-in-law in Galicia from 1912 to 1914 , in the winter months in Krakow and in the summer months until the Russian army marched into Galicia at the beginning of the First World War at the foot of the Tatra Mountains in Poronin and Biały Dunajec . During his exile in Paweł Gut-Mostowski's inn in Poronin, he met several Bolsheviks from Russia, including Josef Stalin . Lenin is said to have walked from Zakopane to Rysy several times during this time . After the occupation of Poland by the Soviet Union in 1939/1944, the path was named after Lenin while Stalin was still alive and the inn was converted into a Lenin Museum. The naming did not appeal to either the Górals or the tourists. The signposts were regularly destroyed, as was the plaque on the summit of Rysy. Oppositionists tried in 1970 to blow up the Lenin monument in front of the museum and set the museum on fire. It was closed in 1990 and the Lenin Monument was moved to the Museum of Social Realism in Kozłówka Castle . However, the trail was never officially renamed.
