Chapayev monument, Federal cultural heritage monument in Samara, Russia
The equestrian monument depicts Vasily Chapayev on horseback with seven bronze figures representing different participants of the Russian Civil War around the base.
Sculptor Matvey Manizer created this memorial in 1932 to mark the fifteenth anniversary of the October Revolution, using twelve tons of bronze.
The monument features figures of a commissar, Bashkir soldier, partisan peasant, Tatar soldier, woman in headscarf, and sailor, representing the diversity of civil war participants.
Located in Chapayev Square in front of the drama theatre, the monument reaches a height of 10 meters and rests on a base measuring 17 by 22 meters.
