Meeting Sculptural Composition

On November 6, 1979, the sculptural composition portraying a worker, a soldier and a sailor was inaugurated in Gorky Park, Rostov-on-Don, to celebrate the establishment of the Soviet power in Rostov-on-Don. The monument was erected on the site of City Garden’s Rotunda, which had been ruined during the Great Patriotic War. On October 26, 1917 (under the Julian calendar), at a large meeting near the Rotunda, Rostov workers accepted a resolution to support the Socialist Revolution, which had taken place in Petrograd the day before.

The authors of the monument are a local sculptor V. P. Dubovik and architects E. A. Polyansky, A. V. Simonenko. 

The inscription on the basement reads: “On October 26, 1917, a mass meeting was held on this place to support the victory of the Socialist Revolution in Petrograd and the establishment of the Soviet authority in Rostov-on-Don.”
