Soviet monitor Zhelezniakov, Naval monument in Podil Raion, Kyiv, Ukraine
The Soviet monitor Zhelezniakov extends 51.2 meters in length and 8.22 meters in width, featuring four diesel engines that generated 280 horsepower during operation.
Built in 1936, this river monitor served in World War II and remained the sole survivor of its six-ship class before becoming a museum vessel in 1967.
The vessel bears the name of Anatoli Zhelezniakov, a Russian sailor remembered for his notable actions against the Russian Constituent Assembly in 1918.
Located at Sailor's Park on Rybalskyi Island, the monitor displays various artillery pieces, including a 102/43 MK-2-4 gun and multiple 37 mm autocannons.
The ship maintained an operational range of 3,700 nautical miles and required a crew of 78 personnel to manage its complete military and navigation systems.
