Monument to the Fighters for Soviet Power, Vladivostok (must see)
The monument to the Fighters for Soviet Power is located in the central square of Vladivostok, that links most important arteries of the city, for example Svetlanskaya Street and Okeansky Avenue. Quite the postcard landmark for Vladivostok, it was built in 1961 and is still the biggest monument in the city. The sculptor is Alexey Teleta. The monument is a classical socialist statue representing a soldier towering over the square at a height of 30 meters. The bronze figure of a soldier of the Red Army faces the ocean. In the right hand he squeezes the shaft of waving banners and in the left hand, a battle trumpet announcing the victory of the revolution in 1922. The marble foundation on which the monument stands is a popular place for young people to ride on skateboards.
