Historical sights of Krasnodar

Monument to Catherine II

The majestic monument erected in honor of the beautiful Catherine II has gone through a lot. The creator of the first sculpture in 1907 was the famous sculptor Mikhail Mikeshin. The composition of the monument represents the empress standing proudly at the top and firmly holding a scepter in one hand and an orb in the other. Below are Prince Potemkin and three atamans of the Cossack army, behind them you can see a blind kobzar. After the revolution, the monument was destroyed by the Bolsheviks and sent for melting down. But in 2006, the monument was restored again.

Chistyakovskaya Grove

One of the oldest and largest city parks today delights residents and guests of Krasnodar with its attractions, well-groomed alleys and an open-air cinema. The park received its name in honor of the mayor Gavrila Chistyakov. He himself, together with schoolchildren, planted the first trees in Chistyakovskaya Grove - oaks, ash, pine and birch. Green spaces were seriously damaged during the Civil War. Today Chistyakovskaya Grove is proud to be the best park in Russia.

Memorial to the victims of fascist terror

The monument, calling to never forget your history, is located on the territory of the Chistyakovskaya Grove. In the middle of the composition stands an old partisan, meeting his death with his head held high, and next to him are young men, a woman sobbing on her knees and a little girl saying goodbye to her mother in the last minutes before the terrible end. On a slab of white marble are written the screaming words: “Remember, remember, remember, people. The killer’s name is fascism!”

Botanical Garden named after Professor I. S. Kosenko

Today, this landmark of Krasnodar is a wonderful place for walking. Its clean alleys are visited with pleasure by both modern youth and older people. The first plantings included in the list of unique plants of Eurasia and America were made in 1959 by Ivan Sergeevich Kosenko. The garden also contains various species of birds, some of which are listed in the Red Book. Until 2007 it belonged to the university, but then it was opened to everyone.

Shukhov Tower

The structure is a steel water tower built in 1935. It received its name in honor of the Soviet engineer Vladimir Grigorievich Shukhov. Today the tower is not used for its intended purpose; it is only a historical landmark of Krasnodar.

Or maybe the sights of Kazan or Minsk?

St. Catherine's Cathedral

After a train accident, in which members of the royal family of Alexander III miraculously survived, they decided to build a five-domed cathedral with seven thrones. Hard times came for him after the revolution. In 1922, the cathedral was looted and they were preparing to blow it up, citing a shortage of bricks. Ivan Malgerb, the architect of this Krasnodar landmark, proved to the authorities that destroying the cathedral would be wrong and pointless. In 2014, St. Catherine's Cathedral celebrated its hundredth birthday.

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral

The Alexander Nevsky Temple has its own unique and inimitable history. It took 19 years to build it, but, unfortunately, we can only see its beauty and splendor in old photographs and hear in the stories of local residents. The main reason for its demolition in May 1932 was the brutal struggle against religion. In 2003, the famous Russian architect Valery Timofeevich Goloverov began to recreate the Krasnodar Cathedral. Today's temple is very similar to its predecessor.

Monument to the Kuban Cossacks

The government and residents of Krasnodar do not forget about who they owe their city to. As you know, Ekaterinodar was founded by the Cossacks in 1792, and 213 years later, in 2005, a monument was unveiled on Krasnaya Street. The bronze monument is represented by a Kuban Cossack on his faithful war horse. He has a hat on his head and a dagger behind his back. The prototype of the work of the talented sculptor Alexander Apollonov is the Cossack ataman and brigadier of the Russian army - Anton Golovaty.

Sculpture “Cossacks writing a letter to the Turkish Sultan”

Art lovers will probably ask themselves: “What to see in Krasnodar?” They will receive their answer in the city center, having discovered a monument created based on the painting “The Cossacks Write a Letter to the Turkish Sultan” by the famous artist I. E. Repin. Back in 1888, Ilya Efimovich visited Yekaterinograd to find sources of inspiration for his new painting. The artist headed for the Pashkovskaya station, where the great-grandchildren of the Zaporozhye Cossacks lived. There, immersed in the atmosphere, he made sketches for his work.

Historical and Archaeological Museum-Reserve named after E. D. Felitsyn

The museum boasts a huge number of exhibits stored within its walls - more than 428 thousand! Evgeny Dmitrievich Felitsyn, a Russian scientist historian and archaeologist, gave his name to the building, which he founded in 1879. At first it was the Military Ethnographic and Natural History Museum, which received official status only almost 30 years after its founding, in 1907. During the Great Patriotic War, very little is known about the activities of the museum, but after the end of the war it again opened its doors to visitors.

We also have sights of Moscow and Yekaterinburg

History of the monument to Catherine the Second in Krasnodar

The idea of ​​creating a monument dedicated to Catherine II arose at the end of the 20th century. The sculpture was dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the resettlement of the Black Sea army to the Kuban lands.

The famous sculptor M. O. Mikeshin began working on the monument project. At the beginning of 1896, the artist died, leaving only sketches for the future monument. This unfinished project was presented at the Grand Palace of St. Petersburg by the wife of the late sculptor. The monument project was approved and construction work began.

The construction of the monument to Catherine II in Krasnodar was carried out under the leadership of B.V. Edwards. In September 1896 the first stone was laid. The construction work itself lasted 11 years. The grand opening of the monument took place in May 1907.

The monument did not stand for long. With the advent of Soviet power, the Kuban Revolutionary Committee in 1920 decided to dismantle the monument to Catherine the Second. In 1931, the dismantled sculpture was melted down.

They started talking about restoring the monument in 2002 at the instigation of the governor of Krasnodar. The project to restore the monument was led by A. A. Apollonov. To implement the plan, archival documents with drawings, photographs and sketches of M. O. Mikeshin were collected.

In September 2006, the grand opening of the revived monument to Catherine the Second took place. It was installed in its original place, where it stood before dismantling.

Main characteristics of the monument

The entire composition is created from a collection of different characters. In the center of the monument, the empress stands on a pedestal with a scepter and orb in her hands. Catherine II is depicted in the royal robe. In front of it, in the central part of the monument, is the Charter of 1792.

On the left hand of the Empress is the figure of Prince Potemkin. He is depicted against the background of a flag and military insignia. On the right hand are the three first leaders of the Black Sea Cossack army: Anton Golovaty, Sidor Bely, Zakhary Chepega. Along with these figures, in the lower part of the monument there is a sculpture of a kobzar with a guide. Here is also a list of victories that the country won with the support of the Kuban Cossacks.

The monument to Catherine the Second is based on several different types of metal: bronze, cast iron, aluminum, gold leaf. The height of the monument is almost 14 meters, and the width of the entire ensemble is 16 meters. The statue of Catherine the Second weighs 3 tons and is 4 meters high.
