This is a KS or “Reno Russkiy” light tank. The KS was a direct copy of the French Renault FT-17 and was built at Krasnoye Sormovo (hence the ‘KS’). The prototype was named “Freedom Fighter Comrade Lenin”. This example has this legend painted on its side, but is believed to be a different vehicle and partly a replica.
