Monument à la grève de 1902, Labor movement memorial in Rostov-on-Don, Russia

The Monument to the 1902 Strike is a memorial complex on the slope of the Kamyshevskaya ravine in Rostov-on-Don's Railway District. A 1967 panoramic high relief shows workers standing shoulder to shoulder with clenched fists, the number "1902" beside them. Above it, a 1975 bronze composition by sculptor A. Sknarin and architect P. Ibalakov shows a young worker raising a revolutionary banner taken from an older, wounded worker.

The 1902 strikes in Rostov-on-Don were among the largest worker protests in the Russian Empire at that time. They are seen as an early sign of the labor unrest that would grow across the country in the following years.

The complex carries the name "Generational Continuity" for its 1975 sculpture: a young worker lifts the red banner taken from an older, wounded worker. The 1967 gore-relief beside the number "1902" shows workers standing shoulder to shoulder with clenched fists. The authors were sculptor E. Mirzoyev with architects Ya. Zanis and L. Yakonin, and sculptor A. Sknarin with architect P. Ibalakov.

The memorial stands on the slope of the Kamyshevskaya gully in the Railway District, not the city centre. A viewing platform is laid out at the foot of the upper sculpture, so the complex is seen from below as well as from the top of the hill. It is an outdoor site, visible at any hour.

The upper sculpture, added in 1975, shows a young worker taking a red banner from an older, wounded worker; its authors were sculptor A. Sknarin and architect P. Ibalakov. The 1967 bas-relief below was made by sculptor E. Mirzoyev with architects Ya. Zanis and L. Yakonin, and a viewing platform was laid out at the foot of the monument.
