Monument to the Fighters of the Revolution
Monument to the Fighters of the Revolution, Memorial in Field of Mars, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Monument to the Fighters of the Revolution consists of four L-shaped granite walls forming a square that encloses communal graves and commemorative plaques.
Following the February Revolution in 1917, the Petrograd Soviet selected the Field of Mars as the burial site for 184 individuals who died during revolutionary events.
The granite tablets display inscriptions by Anatoly Lunacharsky that commemorate the sacrifices of those who fought for political transformation in early twentieth-century Russia.
The memorial site is accessible through the Nevsky Prospekt metro station, with the Summer Garden and Marble Palace located within walking distance.
The eternal flame at this monument, installed in 1957, became the first of its type in Russia and influenced the creation of similar memorials nationwide.
