Park Komsomol'skyy, park in Vladikavkaz, Russia
Park Komsomol'skyy covers 99 hectares in Vladikavkaz's Iriston district, bounded by Shmulevich, Pushkinskaya, Razin and Akademik Shengren streets. It is a nature monument of North Ossetia. The grounds hold the 1955 Monument to Revolutionaries, beneath which lie revolutionaries Shmulevich, Kamalov, Nikitin, Serobabov and Ognev, and Boris Totiev's monument to Komsomol soldiers killed in the Great Patriotic War.
This location was originally a cemetery founded in the early 1800s that closed in 1931 to make way for public green space. It was transformed into a park in the 1960s and officially named in 1968 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Komsomol organization.
The park's official name, Park of the 50th Anniversary of the Komsomol, was granted by the city council on 17 October 1968. The Monument to Revolutionary Figures, installed in 1955, marks the only surviving grave from the former First City Cemetery; revolutionaries S. Ya. Shmulevich, F. G. Kamalov, Nikitin, Serobabov and Ognev are buried beneath it.
The park has clear walking paths and cycling trails, with shaded areas under tall trees that provide relief on warm days. It remains open year-round and changes with the seasons, from green summers to snowy winters, so timing your visit depends on what you prefer.
In 2010, construction of a sports complex for North Ossetian University was halted for three years after human remains were found. In an unknown soldier's grave, workers uncovered a medal "For the Pacification of the Polish Revolt" — a detail the sources do not date to 1863.
