Monument to the Heroes of the Revolution

The Monument to the Heroes of the Revolution is a memorial located in the very center of Novosibirsk, Russia.

Originally, it was a place where 104 fighters for the Soviet Revolution were buried in a common grave on January 22, 1920.

In 1957, the remains of a few famous heroes of the Soviet Revolution were moved from the other city cemeteries and buried in the individual graves with bust sculptures.

The memorial was a major landmark in Soviet days and most children in Novosibirsk have visited the site on school field trips.

As a result, this is arguably one of the most authentic and best preserved examples of an original untouched Soviet era historic site.
