Monument to Yakov Sverdlov
Monument to Yakov Sverdlov, Bronze monument in Paris Commune Square, Yekaterinburg, Russia.
The Monument to Yakov Sverdlov stands in the Kirovski district on Paris Commune Square, reaching approximately 5.20 meters tall. The sculpture merges bronze and granite into a solid presence that anchors this public space.
The monument was created in the 1920s by sculptor Matvey Harlamov and architect Sigismund Dombrovskyi. It was installed to honor an early Soviet leader whose name the city carried until it reverted to its previous name.
The monument represents a political figure from the early Soviet period whose name once defined the city itself. Walking around the square, visitors sense how this person shaped the region's identity during a transformative era.
The monument sits on a public square that is easy to reach on foot, positioned at a street intersection in the central district. The location offers enough space to walk around and view the sculpture from different angles.
The sculpture has occupied the same spot for over nine decades, even as the city itself underwent name changes. This continuity of location makes it a quiet witness to the city's shifting history.
