Lenin himself wasn't the problem and the Statures for him are usually for being a Revolutionary and removing the Tzar.

Stalin was the actual problem.

Lenin was a counterrevolutionary that brutally suppressed any dissent and directly placed Stalin (being well aware of what a person he was) in a position that would make his later takeover possible.

Forgot to mention it's the people in power who hate those statues, not the everyday people
