Dekabristov Garden

Dekabristov Garden, Historical garden near Neva River in Saint Petersburg, Russia

Dekabristov Garden is a garden on Decembrists Island in the Vasileostrovsky District of Saint Petersburg, formed around a stele erected in 1926 at the supposed burial site of five Decembrists. The stele originally stood in Golodaevsky Lane, with wasteland between it and the Malaya Neva. The garden itself was created after 1957, when mass dumping of soil began in the western part of the district.

The garden takes its name from the Decembrists, a group of noble rebels who staged an uprising against Tsar Nicholas I in 1825 near Senate Square. This moment shaped Russian politics and became central to how this area is remembered and honored today.

The garden is used by residents of the municipal district Ostrov Dekabristov for local events, including an annual "Parade of Strollers" (Parad kolyasok). The stele commemorating the five Decembrists, erected in 1926 on behalf of the Vasileostrovsky district executive committee, stands at the garden's centre and is the focus of memorial observances.

The garden lies on Decembrists Island in the Vasileostrovsky district, on the bank of the Small Neva, and is reached via the former Golodaevsky Lane, renamed Decembrists Lane on the 1947 city plan. Paths and flower beds were reworked in the 2011 reconstruction, when old trees and shrubs were partly cut and new ones planted. It is used by local residents for walks and by the municipal district for events such as the annual Parade of Prams.

The stele marking the supposed grave of five Decembrists was erected in 1926 on the initiative of the Vasileostrovsky district executive committee, yet the grounds for identifying this spot as their burial place remain unclear. In the 19th century the deserted bank of the Malaya Neva was reportedly used to bury suicides, and in 1917 a 19th-century military grave was found here.
