Monument to Gikalov, Sheripov, Akhriev, Regional cultural heritage monument in Druzhby Narodov Square, Grozny, Russia.
The Monument to Gikalov, Sheripov, and Akhriev is a granite sculpture on Druzhby Narodov Square in central Grozny, depicting three figures from the period of the Russian Revolution. The work stands on a raised base and is set among other memorials and public buildings that line the square.
The three men depicted were active leaders in the Chechen region during the Russian Revolution and the Civil War that followed. Their roles in the years after 1917 shaped how Soviet power was established in this part of the Caucasus.
The monument portrays three men who were seen as political and military leaders in the region during the early Soviet years. Their names are carved into the granite base, making it easy for visitors to identify each figure.
The square sits in the heart of Grozny and is easy to reach on foot from most parts of the city center. A visit fits naturally into a walk through the area, since other points of interest are close by.
One of the three men honored, Aslan Sheripov, died in battle in 1919 before the Civil War ended. He was in his early twenties at the time and has since become one of the most recognized figures in early Chechen revolutionary history.
