Monument to the Fighters of the Revolution, Soviet memorial in Tyumen, Russia
The Monument to the Fighters of the Revolution is a memorial in Tyumen with granite walls surrounding mass graves of those who perished during revolutionary events. The grounds also contain individual burial sites marked with sculptural busts of key figures.
The site was founded in 1920 following the burial of 104 revolutionaries, and received an official monument in 1922. Additional revolutionaries were later relocated here and given individual burial markers.
The site carries the names of key revolutionary figures and serves as a place where visitors reflect on an era that fundamentally reshaped the country. People come here to engage with this formative period in Russian history.
The grounds are open year-round and are regularly maintained to preserve the historical integrity of the graves. Visitors should approach the site with respect, as one would at any other memorial.
The actual number of those buried here is larger than originally recorded, as multiple reburials took place from other locations. These transfers reveal how society reshaped its memorials according to changing priorities.
