The proper name for (what I am calling in the above title)
The Bolshevik Memorial is..
MEMORIAL TO THE FIGHTERS FOR THE SOVIET POWER IN THE FAR EAST
Below is a link that will tell you more about the Bolshevik Revolution that began on 8 March 1917 and ended on 16 June 1923.

Because I have been in Russia for an extended stay, I could not help but learn at least a little bit about the Russian Revolution led by Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks (Ones of the Majority).
The below photos show the Bolshevik Memorial here in Vladivostok.
On Saturday, the 31st of August, I did NOT set out to see this memorial. Au contraire! Because it was the first sunny day in weeks, I set out with two of my Vladivostok friends to see some of the sights of Vladivostok.
Our tour included a visit to the biggest and the most majestic Russian Orthodox Church here in Vladivostok, The Church of the Intercession of the Mother of God.
After a lot of walking, I sat down upon my cane-chair to rest awhile and, at random, snapped the below photo of the church.
Without getting up, I turned to my left and saw the below scene.
I then arose and shot the below photos, having absolutely no idea whatsoever of what this enormous monument was.
When I shot the below photo, a close-up of the wording you see on the face of the monument in the above two photos, the dates (1917 - 1922) immediately told me what it was.
A monument to the Russian Revolution.
If you look closely at the below photo, you will see that there are several different individual monuments in this memorial.
I'm not sure the below monument is a part of The Bolshevik Memorial but it is close by and you can again see the church off to the right.
I am so pleased that I was able to visit the wonder of Vladivostok.
To coin a phrase..
I wouldn't have missed it for the World..

The Bolshevik Memorial, with all of its monuments, is really something to see. It is so great that you had that sunny day to get out and capture Vladivostok in photos! And, it IS so great that you just up and went to Vladivostok!! Smiles, Hugs, Patti
ReplyDeleteOh My Oh Yes I am so happy that I just up-and-went to Vladivostok. It has to rank close to the top of my list as to Russian Siberian cities that I have enjoyed. For one thing, I was there two weeks. That helped a lot for me to get-to-know it a little. Thank You for your comment. I would hope that a visit to Vladivostok might be in our joint future some day. Much Love .. Cap
