Monument in Memory of Kuzbass Miners
Monument in Memory of Kuzbass Miners, Bronze memorial near Red Hill Museum, Kemerovo, Russia
A seven-meter bronze statue depicts a miner emerging from coal, holding a pneumatic drill and pressing a piece of coal against his chest.
The monument by Ernst Neizvestny was unveiled in August 2003, following a 1969 government decree to construct a memorial for Kuzbass miners.
The sculpture represents the regional commitment to mining heritage, with a red flame lighting up at night within the miner's chest cavity.
Located on Red Hill, where coal was first discovered in 1721, the monument stands as a designated architectural and historical symbol of Kemerovo Oblast.
The five-ton bronze structure was cast in the United States and transported by sea to Russia for installation at its current location.
