Chelyabinsk, an industrial city with a population of over one million in the Southern Urals, has experienced many historical events, and its streets have witnessed a multiple change of eras. Nowadays, numerous monuments and monuments set in squares and parks remind of this.
The most fabulous
As soon as they get off the train and find themselves at the railway station, guests of the city can already see some of the monuments of Chelyabinsk. Most likely, a majestic bearded figure will immediately catch your eye, resembling both an epic hero and a fabulous Santa Claus. This is the monument "The Tale of the Urals", created based on the work of P. P. Bazhov and installed on the station square in the late 1960s. Currently, the 12-meter-high monument is one of the symbols of the city. And a funny resemblance to Santa Claus was noticed by the Chelyabinsk social activists, as a result of which a tradition arose to dress the statue for a holiday in a giant New Year's caftan, which even got into the Russian book of records.
Difficult era
There are many monuments on the map of Chelyabinsk dedicated to the 1917 revolution and the civil war that followed. They exist here along with streets and squares named after these events. One of them is located near the Railway Station Square and perpetuates the memory of the soldiers of the Czechoslovak Corps who fought on the side of the Entente in World War I and were subsequently caught by the 1917 revolution. Another, dating back to the same historical era, is installed at the Mitrofanovskoye cemetery. He marks the burial place of the remains of the Red Army. Earlier, at the beginning of the 20th century, the mass grave was located on Revolution Square, then it was moved to its present place. Due to its remoteness, the monument is little known to the townspeople.
Captured Hero
Famous is the monument to Orlyonok in Chelyabinsk, created by the efforts of the sculptor L.N. Golovnitsky and the architect E.V. Aleksandrov. The monument was erected in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Komsomol organization in 1958. It is dedicated to young revolutionaries and represents the figure of a teenager with his hands tied behind his back, dressed in an excessively large overcoat, a hat and heavy boots. Adult military clothing of that time creates an expressive contrast with the youthful appearance of a young man, conveying a romantic image of a brave and implacable fighter.
Contrary to popular belief, the monument was not at all "the result of inspiration" by its authors the famous song "Eaglet", written by Ya. Shvedov and V. Bely. Erected after the end of the Great Patriotic War, the monument immortalized the memory of all young heroes. In his honor, the Chelyabinsk Region Creative Prize was named, awarded in 1967-1990 for achievements in the field of art, literature, journalism, architecture, teaching, science and technology. Monument "Eaglet" is widely known beyond its borders. Over the years, various social events have been held near it, as well as informal youth gathered. Today it is included in the register " Cultural heritage RF "and is rightfully considered a remarkable monumental work of the Soviet era.
There are in every city
Another echo of a relatively recent historical past is a monument to Lenin in Chelyabinsk, created in 1959 by sculptors L. Golovnitsky and V. Zaikov. Installed on an unusual granite pedestal in the form of tribunes (designed by the architect E.V. Aleksandrov), the 17.5-meter high bronze monument rises above the Revolution Square in the city center.
This monument is one of the most recognizable places in Chelyabinsk. Parades and rallies are held near it, personal meetings are scheduled. In autumn, on the square in front of the monument, an official holiday in honor of the city's birthday is held, and in winter there is a children's theater. Nearby is the Chelyabinsk drama theater, as well as the Kirovka pedestrian street, famous for its sculptures.
Hard and heroic years
Many monuments of Chelyabinsk are dedicated to the events of 1941-1945. In addition to the traditional eternal flame on the Walk of Fame in the city center, there are a variety of monumental compositions in other areas. For example, the monument to the Defenders of the Fatherland, which includes a metal-faced pedestal with a bas-relief depicting a soldier's head, as well as free-standing rectangular columns on which the names of Chelyabinsk residents who died for their homeland are inscribed.
Separate monuments to fallen tankers and pilots have been erected in other parts of the city. Special attention deserves a touching monument "Sister", dedicated to the feat of women in the war: nurses, signalmen, soldiers and scouts. The work of the sculptor A. L. Tishin, depicting a seated young woman in military uniform, was installed in honor of the 60th anniversary of Victory in a small park on the eponymous avenue. The special value of the monument is that it is one of the few of its kind in Russia.
Another piercingly emotional monument is also dedicated to women, but not who fought, but who were waiting for soldiers from the war. The Monument "Memory" ("Grieving Mothers") is located at the Forest Cemetery. It was installed in honor of the 30th anniversary of the end of the Great Patriotic War and represents two female figures holding the helmet of a deceased warrior. The sculptors L. N. Golovnitsky and E. E. Golovnitskaya, architects Yu. P. Danilov and I. V. Talalay worked on the work.
Many monuments of the war years are dedicated to military equipment that participated directly in battles or in These structures are located in several places in the urban area, which during the war was called Tankograd and was one of the strongholds of rear production. Now, the monuments of Chelyabinsk dedicated to the IS-3 tank (on Komsomolskaya Square) and the legendary Katyusha artillery installation (in the park near the Kolyushenko Palace of Culture) remind of that difficult time.
Internationalist soldiers
Among the Chelyabinsk military structures, there was a place for monuments in honor of soldiers who died in battles on a foreign land. These include the monument to the Soldiers of the Undeclared War, opened in 2009 in a park on the Metallurgists Highway and dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. Another monument called "The Valiant Sons of the Fatherland" is dedicated to all soldiers-internationalists and is located in the center of the city not far from the Eternal Flame. The composition, created by sculptor V.F.Mitroshin and architect N.N.Semeikin, is very interesting: an eagle soaring over a rocky gorge is a symbol of military valor and honor. The monument was erected in 2004.
Monuments in honor of outstanding figures of art and science occupy a special place in the architecture of the city. Among them, one can distinguish the monument to Kurchatov located at the intersection of the central Lenin Avenue and Lesoparkova Street. Chelyabinsk celebrated its 250th anniversary in 1986. On this occasion, the city authorities decided to erect a monument to the outstanding nuclear physicist, whose homeland was the town of Sim in the Chelyabinsk region.
The architectural and sculptural composition, the authors of which were the artist V. A. Avakyan, as well as architects B. V. Petrov, V. L. Glazyrin and I. V. Talalay, is distinguished by the originality of the idea and the complexity of execution. The statue of the scientist standing on a pedestal reaches a height of 11 meters. On both sides it is surrounded by two pylons, each 27 meters high, on which hemispheres are attached, symbolizing a split atom. And in the evenings, beautiful modern lighting sets off the original monument to Kurchatov against the background of the dark sky. Chelyabinsk is justly proud of this building, the place around which has always been a favorite for meeting students, couples in love, as well as athletes. Sports grounds and an indoor track and field complex are located a few steps from the monument. Unfortunately, nowadays it is almost impossible to get close to the monument: since 2014, long-term construction has been launched around it. Residents and guests of the city have to admire its beauty from afar.
The most famous poet
Chelyabinsk honors not only outstanding scientists. There is also a monument to Pushkin (of the most classical look) in the Ural city. It is located in the city garden named after the great poet. In addition to the monument, there is also a playground with colorful wooden sculptures based on the famous fairy tales of the Russian classic. In his honor, a street, a city garden, central Library and a cinema.
Conclusion
No less interesting than the statues and monuments are the various monuments, the oldest of which date back to the first half of the 19th century. The most famous examples are the merchant MF Valeev's trading house, the Yaushev brothers' store, a water tower and an elevator. All historical and architectural monuments of Chelyabinsk are associated with different time periods, which makes them valuable from the local history and tourist points of view.
On the Alley of Heroes of the Likhachev Moscow Automobile Plant, a memorial has been erected in honor of the military and labor exploits of automobile manufacturers during the Great Patriotic War.
The plant sent 16 thousand people to the front.

On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Victory in May 2005, the monument "Gray Ural" was solemnly unveiled on Oborony Square.
The Defense Square (former Nochlezhnaya, Simeonovskaya, Maksim Gorkogo) received its name in the forties of the 20th century. From this square, Sverdlovsk residents during the Great Patriotic War saw off their relatives and friends to the front.
The monument "Gray Ural" is dedicated to the labor and military deeds of the Urals.
A huge bronze sculpture of a master blacksmith, holding a sword sheathed in his hand, personifies the Gray Urals, who forged weapons for the front all the war years and sent their best sons and daughters to the battlefields. The height of the sculpture together with the pedestal is 12 meters.
On the monument there are inscriptions: "Urals, forged victory" and "Urals - defenders of the Motherland."
Monument to Marshal Zhukov G.K.
The monument was erected on Lenin Avenue on the square in front of the headquarters of the Central Military District (formerly the Urals, and then the Volga-Urals).
In 1948-1953, Marshal G.K. Zhukov was the commander of the Ural Military District.
The author of the monument is the sculptor K.V. Grunberg. depicted the marshal riding on a rearing horse. Once, during the parade on the 1905 square, Zhukov toured the troops, sitting astride a horse. And from the loud cheers of "Uraaa!" the horse reared under the marshal. This moment was captured by K.V. Grunberg.
The monument was cast at Uralmashzavod. They say that the commission that accepted the monument long time didn't want to allow it to be installed. The reason for the doubts was the stability of the sculpture. Uralmash craftsmen found a solution - they remade the horse's legs, replacing the hollow structure with a frame with a monolithic one.
The monument was opened for the 50th anniversary of the Victory on May 8, 1995.
The monument was created with public money. On the pedestal of the monument there is an inscription: "Zhukov GK, soldier and marshal from the Urals".
Memorial to children of war and home front workers
The memorial is located in the park near the Mashinostroiteley metro station at the intersection of Kosmonavtov Avenue and Front Brigades Street on the territory of the Ordzhonikidze District.
The place for the monument was not chosen by chance: it was in this area that the largest factories of the region were located, producing products for the front. On the ground where the memorial now stands, during the war there were barracks in which workers who came from everywhere to the Urals lived. Here, all the heroic factories are within easy reach.
The initiative to create such a monument was put forward 10 years ago by the veterans of the Uralelectrotyazhmash plant, who were children during the war and who worked in the factory workshops. In 2006, a stone was laid at this place with the indication that a monument would appear here. The memorial was opened in November 2014.
The central sculpture is 3.5 meters high and depicts children. A boy and a girl carry a symbolic cross, made of shells and parts for military equipment, a cross of exhausting labor in the name of Victory.
Behind the sculpture is a 13-meter bas-relief 3 m high - a kind of cast-iron foundry lace. On the bas-relief there is an inscription "And we will live! And we will remember!"
Another iconic element of the composition is a clock on the sidewalk, a symbol of the smooth operation of factories during the war years, and the rails along which finished products were sent to the front.
The sculptor Konstantin Grunberg, architect Yuri Doroshin, employees of the "Architectural Workshop of Academician Belyankin" and the foundry workshop "Liteiny Dvor" took part in the creation of the memorial complex.
