Памятник участникам боёв на Красной Пресне, Bronze monument near Gorbaty Bridge in Moscow, Russia.
The Monument to Participants of the Battles at Krasnaya Presnya is a bronze sculptural group located near Gorbaty Bridge in Moscow. The composition features three figures on a granite base: a woman holding a flag, a man on one knee with a rifle, and a fallen comrade.
The monument was unveiled in 1981 to commemorate the barricade battles at Krasnaya Presnya during the 1905 revolution. These clashes were a significant uprising against tsarist rule in Moscow.
The figures on the memorial represent people from different social backgrounds who fought together. Their representation tells a story of solidarity and common purpose that visitors can still recognize today.
The monument is located near Konyushkovskaya Street and Krasnaya Presnya in central Moscow. It is easily accessible from several public transportation stops in the area.
The female figure holding the flag echoes the composition of Eugene Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People. This connection reveals how Russian and French revolutionary art shared common visual language.
