Monument to the first political strike of Rutchenkovo miners and masters

The monument to the first political strike of miners and masters Rutchenkovo is located in the Kirovsky district of Donetsk, at the crossroads of Petrovsky and Derzhavnaya streets.

The monument is made in the form of a flat shapeless block, dark in color, on both sides of which there are plaques that read: "Here, July 17, 1906, the first political strikes of miners and masters of Rutchenkovo took place."

The strike, or simply put, the strike of the masters and miners of the Rutchenkovo mine, took place as part of the second wave of strikes in the summer of 1906 in the cities of Makeevka and Yuzovka. Workers of the Karpovsky, Voznesensky, Chulkovsky, Lidievsky and Rutchenkovsky mines participated in these full-scale strikes. The strikes escalated into military clashes, but soon subsided due to the temporary formation of the Governor-General.
