Monument to the heroes of the Volga military flotilla
Monument to the heroes of the Volga military flotilla, Military memorial on Markin Square, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.
The monument displays three oversized bronze figures of sailors standing shoulder to shoulder on a low base made of red granite blocks. Symmetrical stone steles flank the central figures on both sides.
The monument was erected in 1967 to mark the October Revolution anniversary and honors the Volga flotilla formed from civilian vessels in 1918. These ships played a crucial role fighting White Guards during the civil war.
The monument sits on Markin Square and marks the importance of the Volga River to military operations in the region. Visitors can sense how the waterway shaped local historical events.
The monument sits on the central Markin Square near other historical sites and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should come early in the day to avoid crowds and go when weather is pleasant.
The bronze figures were created by a local sculptor and show details that reflect the actual uniforms and equipment of sailors from that era. This craftsmanship makes the work a fine example of Soviet sculpture tradition.
