Памятник декабристам, Granite monument dedicated to Decembrists in Leninski district, Yekaterinburg, Russia.
The Decembrist Monument consists of three granite statues, each standing 3 meters (10 feet) tall, positioned at the intersection of Dekabristov Street. The figures depict revolutionaries shown in chains, representing their journey into exile.
The monument honors participants of the December 1825 Uprising who passed through Yekaterinburg in 1826 on their way to Siberian exile. This movement marked a pivotal moment in Russian revolutionary history and left a lasting impression on the region.
The inscription on the base honors the role these revolutionaries played in advancing the region's economy and culture. Their legacy remains visible in how locals remember this difficult chapter.
The monument sits near the entrance of the Ural Institute of Management at the corner of Dekabristov Street and March 8 Street. This central location makes it easy to find and visit along with other nearby points of interest.
Sculptor Valentina Sokolova spent years developing different models and compositional variations before the work was finally installed in 2000. This extended creative process reflects the care taken to honor this historical moment appropriately.
