Creation History
Yakov Mikhailovich Sverdlov was born in N. Novgorod on May 23, 1885 . In the early 1890s, the Sverdlov family moved to house number 6 on the street. B. Pokrovskaya. Here childhood, youth, the formation of a professional revolutionary passed. For the first time, the question of creating a monument to the revolutionary was raised shortly after the death of Y. M. Sverdlov at a meeting of the executive committee in N. Novgorod on April 27, 1920 . But due to lack of funds, the solution was postponed. In 1947, a memorial exposition of the museum of Y. M. Sverdlov was created in the former Sverdlovs house. And in 1955, a competition for a monument was announced. The sculptors P. I. Gusev and N. M. Chugurin, architect V. N. Rymarenko received the best mark for creating the project and the model.
