The first monument to Emperor Nicholas II in the Urals was opened not in Yekaterinburg.
In the Chelyabinsk region, on July 20, the first monument to the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II, who was killed along with his family and servants in the Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg in July 1918, was unveiled in the Ural region. The bronze monument was installed near the St. Nicholas Cathedral in Verkhneuralsk, reports the portal cheltv.ru. It became the first monument in the Urals and the second in Russia where the tsar is depicted sitting in the saddle. The author of the composition is Chelyabinsk sculptor Anna Shumakova, a member of the Union of Artists of Russia.
The northern chapel of the St. Nicholas Cathedral was erected in honor of the salvation of Tsarevich Nicholas during his trip to Japan. In the summer of 1891, the future emperor personally attended a service in this temple.
Earlier, in December 2024, a bust of Russian Emperor Alexander I was ceremoniously unveiled in Yekaterinburg. In early August, a monument titled "Cathedral of Archangel Michael" will be ceremoniously opened in the sports quarter of Archangel Michael near the Mega shopping center. In February of this year, geologist Alexander Avdonin, who discovered the burial site of the remains of the royal family under Yekaterinburg during the Soviet era, passed away. The murderers tried to meticulously cover up all traces, but the investigation into this atrocity began almost immediately.
