They did have a huge surplus of Lenin statues in the former Soviet sphere of influence after 1989. While some were aggregated in “Lenin yards” (apparently there’s a huge one in an industrial area in Lithuania) and others unceremoniously melted down, if someone were to souvenir the head of one such statue, it might not have been noticed.
