    Could be a humidor. What size is it? What does the base look like?

    Do an internet image search for "figural tobacco jar" and see what you find.

    Savvy*Spyglass*Treasures Fancy Endeavours. That's my user ID on eBay now.

    If the lid has a recess underneath where a damp sponge could be inserted, definitely a humidor.

    Yes, looks like that is Lenin. It's popular now to use such images as lids

    Would it be Soviet made? Or a later nostalgic figure?

    It's not Soviet made, cannot even imagine anything like this at that time. It's new, early 2000, I think, made for tourists.

    There are a few differences between the one in the article and OP's: the bow tie is different, the mustache doesn't curl up and he doesn't seem to be smiling :(
