Monument to the Fighters of the Revolution, Soviet memorial in Tyumen, Russia

The Monument to the Fighters of the Revolution stands on Ploshchad Bortsov Revolyutsii in Tyumen: a cast-iron group of an armed worker holding a flying banner and an armed peasant, cast at the Tyumen Building Machinery Plant in 1967 from a model by sculptors Ye. A. Gerasimov and A. L. Remizov. It rests on a pedestal bearing inscriptions on all four sides that list the names of the fallen fighters, with the words "To the fallen fighters of the revolution from the workers of Tyumen".

On 5 July 1918 the bodies of Red Army soldiers killed fighting the White Guards were brought to Tyumen and buried in a mass grave in the garden on Alexandrovskaya Square. On 9 July 1918 the garden was renamed the Garden of the October Revolution, and on 15 July 1918 more fallen Red Army men were buried there. In the early 1920s a wooden column topped with a budenovka and red star marked the grave, later replaced by a wooden obelisk. In 1957 a sculptural group by Tyumen sculptors E. A. Gerasimov and A. L. Remizov was installed, and in 1967 it was recast in cast iron at the Tyumen Construction Machinery Plant.

The square and garden around the grave were renamed Sad Oktyabrskoy Revolyutsii on 9 July 1918, the day the first Red Army dead were buried there. The pedestal carries inscriptions on all four sides listing the names of the fallen, under the line "To the fallen fighters of the revolution from the workers of Tyumen".

The monument stands on Ploshchad Bortsov Revolyutsii, set slightly back from the grave toward the sidewalk. The sculptural group faces the square, and memorial inscriptions listing the fallen soldiers appear on all four sides of the pedestal, so walk around it to read them.

The monument's figures were first made of painted gypsum in 1957, based on sketches by Tyumen sculptors E. A. Gerasimov and A. L. Remizov. Ten years later, for the Revolution's 50th anniversary, the group was recast in cast iron at the Tyumen Construction Machinery Plant.
