Monument to the nurse

The monument to the nurse is located in the Kalininsky district of Donetsk, on the territory of the basic medical school.

The opening date of the monument was September 1, 1980, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the opening of the school. The monument is dedicated to the staff and students of the school who died during the Great Patriotic War. The monument was erected on the initiative and with funds collected by teachers and students of the educational institution.

The author of the monument was sculptor Alexander Porozhnyuk. The statue of the monument is forged from copper, and its height is 280 cm. The statue stands on a marble pedestal measuring 3 x 3.5 m. Also on the pedestal there was a five-pointed star, but it was stolen by looters, and until now has not been restored. There are no inscriptions on the monument.

The statue is made in the form of a female military nurse. The girl is wearing an army uniform, a skirt, a belted skirt, a gymnast and boots a couple of sizes larger. A sister bag hangs on her side. The small height of the pedestal on which the statue is located allows you to bring it closer to the audience.
