Памятник комсомольцам, Monument to Komsomol members on Lenin Street, Sevastopol.
The Komsomol memorial in Sevastopol features three figures in tinted organic material with a bronze appearance, mounted on a diorite base: a soldier carrying a rifle, a sailor holding grenades, and a female medic. The sculptural group stands prominently at street level where it remains highly visible.
Funded by the Sevastopol Komsomol organization in 1963, the monument was created to remember young people who defended the city during 1941-1942. It emerged during a period when such memorials became central to public remembrance.
The inscription honors courage and steadfastness, reflecting ideals that were central to youth organizations of that era. The group of soldier, sailor, and medic together represents a vision of collective sacrifice and shared dedication.
The monument is located at street level and is easy to reach on foot, especially when exploring the main thoroughfares of the city. The site is openly accessible and can be visited at any time without special arrangement.
The sculpture was not cast from real metal but created from tinted organic material designed to maintain a permanent bronze-like surface. This practical choice avoided the natural patina that typically develops on traditional bronze sculptures over time.
