Leninsky District, Novosibirsk

Leninsky City District is an administrative district (raion), one of the 10 raions of Novosibirsk, Russia. It is located on the left bank of the Ob River. The area of the district is 76.12 square kilometres (29.39 sq mi).[1] Population: 302,803 (2018 Census).[2] It is the most populous district of the city. The main historical landmark of the district is the Monument of Glory, a monument to Siberians who participated in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, opened on November 6, 1967 between Plakhotny and Parkhomenko Streets (authored by muralist A. Chernobrovtsev (1930-2014)). Sculptor B. Ermishin, architects M. Pirogov and B. Zakharov also participated in the creation of the monument. The memorial occupies almost 2 hectares and consists of a symbolic statue of a grieving mother woman, an Eternal Flame and seven powerful ten-meter pylons on which scenes depicting individual stages of the war are engraved. On the opposite side, the names of 30266 Novosibirsk residents who fell at the front are pressed into the concrete of the pylons. The nameplates are made of metal. Between the pylons on the elevation there are 4 urns with earth from the places of bloody battles. Behind the memorial is the Walk of Fame, where there are one hundred fir trees planted in honor of Novosibirsk Heroes of the Soviet Union. The life and work of two honorary residents of the city are connected with the Leninsky district: A.I. Pokryshkin, three times Hero of the Soviet Union, Air Marshal and G.P. Lyshinsky— professor, founder of the Novosibirsk Electrotechnical Institute (NSTU).
