Monument to the Victims of January 9
Monument to the Victims of January 9, Memorial monument in Frunzensky District, Russia.
The Monument to the Victims of January 9 stands in Saint Petersburg, combining bronze and granite in its construction. These materials form a durable structure that commemorates a significant event from 1905.
The monument was built in 1931 to recall the event of January 9, 1905, when security forces fired on peaceful people near the Winter Palace. This tragedy fundamentally shifted the political situation in the Russian empire.
The memorial marks a turning point when Russians first openly resisted authority on a large scale. Visitors can sense this moment of change reflected in how the monument was designed and positioned.
The monument is located in Frunzensky District and is easily accessible, with information panels on site. Visitors can read details about the historical events and view it from multiple angles.
Architect Vladimir Vitman designed specific bronze sculptures that express the strength and determination of working people. These artistic details show the dignity of those who died that day.
