This is a bronze copy of the famous sculpture by I.D.Shadra. The monument was erected in the park in 1967 (architects: M.N. Kazarnovsky, L.N. Matyshin). Behind the sculpture there is a small stone wall. In the past, bronze letters were attached to it, from which V.I. Lenin’s statement was composed: “The feat of the Presnensky workers was not in vain. Their sacrifices were not in vain.” However, the letters on the wall are currently missing. The monument is included in the list of Moscow cultural heritage sites.

Petrovsky Park
Petrovsky Park is a landscape park complex in the northwestern part of Moscow. Monument to park art of the 19th century. Area 22 hectares. Adjacent to Leningradsky Prospekt. It is bounded from the north-west by Seregina Street, from the north-east by Petrovsko-Razumovskaya Alley, from the south-east by Teatralnaya Alley.
Story
In 1774, after public festivities on the Khodynka field in honor of the Kyuchuk-Kainardzhi Peace, Catherine II, pleased with the past celebrations, ordered M. Kazakov to build a stone palace near the village of Petrovskoye-Zykovo, which was located on the Petersburg highway. Petrovsky Travel Palace was designed by Kazakov in the “Turkish style”, as were the pavilions for celebrations on Khodynskoye Field. Construction lasted from 1775 to 1782. Petrovsky Palace was the last stop when the Tsar's train entered Moscow.
In 1812, the headquarters of Napoleon I was located in the palace.
In 1827, during the restoration of Moscow after the War of 1812, it was decided to turn the area near the Petrovsky Palace into a landscape park. For this purpose, the dachas surrounding the palace and the adjacent Maslova Heath were purchased. The construction was supervised by the director of the Construction Commission, General A. A. Bashilov, and the work was entrusted to the architect I. T. Tamansky. Tamansky also supervised the restoration of the Petrovsky Palace, which was damaged in 1812. According to the design of the architect A. A. Menelas, a pond was dug, dams were built, a road was built to the Kamer-Kollezhsky Val, and three alleys radiating from the palace. Initially the park covered an area of ​​65 hectares.
Since the 30s of the 19th century, Petrovsky Park has become a popular place for festivities. At that time, it was forbidden to maintain taverns and inns on the territory of Petrovsky Park. The Petrovsky Summer Theater, a building for concerts, swings, gazebos, billiard rooms, bathhouses, and coffee shops were located here. A wooden building with a gallery for concerts, the only one of its kind, the so-called voxal was built in 1835 by the architect M.D. Bykovsky in the image of the Grog voxals in Neskuchny Garden and Medoxa in the Taganskaya part, which had no longer survived by that time.
In the first half of the 19th century, the park became a prestigious aristocratic summer cottage. By decree of Nicholas I of 1836, areas from Tverskaya Zastava to Petrovsky Park were allocated for the construction of dachas with the condition that the houses were beautiful and faced the road. M.D. Bykovsky developed designs for dachas in a variety of styles.
Lines regularly ran from the Ilyinsky Gate to Petrovsky Park. In 1899, the city's first tram line opened from Strastnoy Boulevard to the park.
In the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries, the famous restaurants “Yar” (in 1836 Bashilov rented his house to the French restaurateur Tranquil Yar) and “Strelna” with a summer branch “Mauritania” (appeared later) were built on the territory of the park.
"Strelna", created by I.F. Natruskin, was one of the attractions of Moscow at that time - it had a huge winter garden. Centuries-old tropical trees, grottoes, rocks, fountains, gazebos and - as expected - there are offices all around, where there are all kinds of choirs.
At the end of the 19th century, the green spaces of the park were greatly reduced due to the ongoing dacha construction. Only in 1907, Nicholas II forbade the distribution of land in Petrovsky Park for dachas.
On September 5, 1918, immediately after the Bolshevik government declared the Red Terror, in Petrovsky Park the Moscow Cheka carried out a public demonstration execution of hostages from representatives of the highest officials of the former Russian Empire. In total, up to 80 people were executed. Among others, the Minister of Internal Affairs N.A. Maklakov, A.N. Khvostov, the former Minister of Justice I.G. Shcheglovitov - the last chairman of the State Council, Archpriest John Vostorgov and others were shot. As an eyewitness to the execution Sergei Kobyakov recalled:
They shot everyone in Petrovsky Park. The execution was carried out in public. The security officers shouted the names of those being executed. Pointing at Shcheglovitov, they shouted: “Here is the former tsarist minister, who shed the blood of workers and peasants all his life...” ... After the execution, all those executed were robbed
In the subsequent period, the reservoirs were filled up. A large area of ​​the park was allocated for the construction of the Dynamo stadium.
Architectural structures
Annunciation Church (1844-1847) - architect F. F. Richter
Villa N. Ryabushinsky “Black Swan” (1908) - architect V. D. Adamovich

The Park of the December Uprising is also known under other names: “park named after the December Armed Uprising”, “square of 1905”, “square on Trekhgorny Val”. Obviously, the park was named after the December Uprising of 1905. In the northern part of the park there is a monument “Cobblestone - the weapon of the proletariat” - a bronze copy of the famous sculpture by I. D. Shadr (1927). The monument was erected in 1967, architects M. N. Kazarnovsky, L. N. Matyshin.

Behind the sculpture there is a small stone wall. In 2012, the inscription in bronze letters was restored on it, from which V. I. Lenin’s statement is made up: “The feat of the Presnensky workers was not in vain. Their sacrifices were not in vain." . The monument is included in the list of Moscow cultural heritage sites.

The hero of the sculpture is a generalized image of a proletarian of the early 20th century, a fighter for revolutionary ideals and freedom. The sculpture gained popularity in the USSR and gave rise to the playfully ironic catchphrase “Cobblestone is the weapon of the proletariat.”

“Cobblestone - the weapon of the proletariat” is one of the most striking phenomena of realistic art of the 20th century. The composition is based on a coil of an unwinding spiral. The relief plasticity of the proletarian’s body is conveyed by the sculptor very expressively and accurately shows the state of spiritual uplift, creating a heroic image symbolizing the era of the October Revolution and the beginning of Soviet power. The intensity of a proletarian fighter makes him similar to Myron’s “Disco Thrower,” and the strong-willed aspiration that can be read in his facial features makes him similar to Michelangelo’s “David.”

In the center of the park is located obelisk “To the Heroes of the December Armed Uprising of 1905”, built in 1920 with money from Presnya workers. On the obelisk there is an inscription carved: “To the heroes of the December armed uprising of 1905.” The monument is included in the list of Moscow cultural heritage sites.

In the southern part of the park there is monument to V.I. Lenin sitting in a chair (sculptor B.I. Dyuzhev, architect Yu.I. Goltsev; 1963). The monument is made of forged copper and installed on a granite pedestal in the center of a large round flower bed.

And right across the road from the park there is a sculpture composition “Dedicated to the revolution of 1905-1907.” The sculptural composition was installed in honor of the 75th anniversary of the December armed uprising of 1905 in front of the pavilion of the Ulitsa 1905 Goda metro station. In this area (Krasnaya Presnya) the most heated and fierce battles between the rebels and the police took place. The names of the streets Barrikadnaya and 1905 (formerly Voskresenskaya) were given in honor of these events, because they, as well as st. Krasnaya Presnya was lined with barricades and was the center of the revolutionary events of 1905.

In the center of the composition are revolutionary worker vigilantes with flags and weapons, on the right is a worker and a girl in a fight with a mounted gendarme, on the left is a fallen vigilante and a woman who raised her hands clenched into fists in anger.

The sculpture, located near the main exit from the 1905 metro station, is located directly at the intersection of Krasnaya Presnya, 1905 and Presnensky Val streets.
