Monument to the 1902 Strike

The monument was erected in memory of those killed during a mass protest in 1902. The monument is a figure standing shoulder to shoulder workers with tightly compressed, aimed at the enemy fists.

In November 1902, for several days there were mass protests of workers of railway workshops, tobacco factory and factory "Aksai". Then, on November 11, a city-wide strike took place, for the suppression of which large police and Cossack forces were drawn up. Six workers were killed and 17 injured in the crackdown. In honor of the dead and in memory of those events, a monument was erected. The platform located next to the monument is a beautiful observation deck overlooking the station and the city center.
