From the very beginning, the monument was conceived as a high-rise dominant of the central square of Vladivostok. It was inaugurated on April 29, 1961, when the square did not yet exist, and the central Leninskaya Street (now Svetlanskaya) abruptly cut off to the Golden Horn Bay. The author of the monument was the famous Moscow sculptor, Honored Art Worker of the RSFSR Aleksei Ilyich Teneta. Architects - A. S. Usachev, A. F. Kozlov, Yu. A. Trautman.
The subject of heated debate was the question of which direction the figure of the standard bearer should look - towards the city or towards the Golden Horn. The appeal to the bay was logically justified - the warrior looked after the fleeing enemy. But in this case, he turned his back to the city and its main street, where demonstrations and rallies took place. The issue was resolved administratively - the first secretary of the Primorsky Regional Committee of the CPSU Vladimir Chernyshev ordered the monument to be set facing the sea.
Great to see the memorial complex of military glory here. The monuments show the history of Russia and Vladivostok fighting. I like the symbol of Russia on the Columns.
Beautiful
Thank you very much to our grandmothers and grandfathers who deserve this proud title of the city of military glory, I will try to remain human and not shame the memory of my ancestors with my actions!
Founded in 1860 as a military post, it became an outpost of Russia in the Far East, Vladivostok became a major port, the Vladivostok detachment of cruisers, successfully disrupting Japanese trade communications, went from here to action against enemy communications in the Russian-Japanese war, and became one of the first world war strategic ports for relations with the Allies on the Entente, during the intervention period experienced many occupation regimes. With the liberation of Vladivostok in 1922, the civil war in the Far East ended, FER became part of the USSR. During the Second World War, the rear port lived according to the laws of wartime, and served as links with the Allies in the anti-Hitler coalition (Lend-Lease). Hundreds of marching units, naval rifle brigades and other formations were formed from the inhabitants of the city, Pacific Fleet sailors. In violation of neutrality, Japan detained, inspected and drowned Soviet merchant ships. In the city there is a monument to the "Dead sailors of the merchant fleet."
