Monument to the soldiers of the Ural Volunteer Tank Corps in Yekaterinburg

In February 1962, a large-scale composition was opened on Privokzalnaya Square in Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg) dedicated to the feat of the soldiers of the Ural Volunteer Corps. The massive figures of the worker and tanker warrior are set on a huge pedestal of polished gray Ural granite.

The figures of the father-worker and son-warrior symbolize the cohesion and unity of the rear and the front of the mortal danger hanging over the Motherland. The tank warrior comes forward a little, as if emphasizing that with his chest you can reliably protect those who remained in the rear. The monument was created by sculptors V. M. Druzin and P. A. Sazhin together with the monumental artist V. Z. Belyaev.

The history of the creation of the monument dates back to 1943. At the beginning of that year, the inhabitants of the Urals presented to the front a whole tank corps, which was equipped with military equipment, ammunition and uniforms, made during off-hours and bought from the state with voluntary funds. In May 1943, a solemn presentation of honorary trophy banner to the volunteer soldiers took place. By giving an oath to the inhabitants of the Urals, the soldiers of the corps fulfilled their duties with honor.

During its two years at war the Corps marched over 5 500 km from Oryol to Prague. 27 of its soldiers and sergeants became Full Cavaliers of the Order of Glory, and 38 became Heroes of the Soviet Union.

        El pedestal está hecho en forma de torre de tanque. La similitud con el tanque es bastante distante. Cuando era niño, amaba los tanques y no estaba contento de que los autores se hubieran alejado tanto de la naturaleza. En los lados de granito del pedestal están talladas las etapas del proceso de fabricación del tanque. Extracción de minerales en la cara, fundición de metales, forja. Y el último alivio es que el luchador está mirando hacia el frente. Por alguna razón, no entré desde el lado opuesto del monumento y ni siquiera sé qué se muestra allí.

        Por cierto, un herrero tallado en piedra forja una espada. Esta espada me recordó el monumento del Frente Trasero en Magnitogorsk. La idea y la elección de los héroes coinciden completamente. Tanto aquí como allá, el trabajador y el soldado. Tanto aquí como allá, la transferencia de armas de las manos del trabajador a las manos de un guerrero. Solo allí, en Magnitogorsk, lo principal en el monumento es una espada enorme. Resulta que la espada está aquí. Ahí está. El monumento Magnitogorsk fue construido 17 años después. En 1979, y este en 1962. Por cierto, los voluntarios de los Urales también habían forjado armas. Este es el mismo cuchillo negro con el que todos los soldados del cuerpo estaban armados. Incluso hay una canción sobre él. Oh, no les gustan los bastardos fascistas, Nuestro cuchillo negro de acero Ural. Monument to the Soldiers of the Ural Volunteer Tank Corps 21
