Monument to the heroes of the Civil War in the Far East, Khabarovsk, Civil War memorial in Komsomol Square, Khabarovsk, Russia
The Civil War memorial in Khabarovsk consists of a tall gray granite obelisk topped with a bronze star, standing about 22 meters high. Three-meter-tall bronze figures stand at its base, representing different fighters from that historical period.
The memorial was unveiled on October 26, 1956, honoring those who fought in the Russian Far East during the Civil War from 1918 to 1922. This period saw intense conflicts as different forces struggled for control of the region.
The statues depict figures from Civil War times: a partisan in a sheepskin coat, a commissar, and a Red Guard soldier with a rifle. These representations still shape how the city remembers and understands this period of struggle and change.
The memorial stands in a central location near the Amur River, making it easy to reach on foot from nearby streets. The site is accessible year-round and offers clear views of the plaza and surrounding area.
The granite base displays lyrics from the song 'Through Valleys and Hills,' which became a symbol of the Far Eastern partisan movement. This song held deep meaning for fighters and remains part of the region's collective memory.
