A Soviet-era memorial to Shelekhov’s first builders set in a small plaza—good for strong sculptural compositions, contextual portraits, and seasonal contrasts (snow in winter, leafy green in summer). Visit golden hour or blue hour for dramatic side-light and long shadows. Easy pedestrian access from Ulitsa Mira; street parking nearby. No entry fees; respect memorial etiquette and avoid stepping on flower offerings.
