Area History and Development
The projected area, with its original name - Khlebnaya - was first shown on the city plan of 1791 . However, due to the specifics of the Bryansk relief, this area has long remained unclaimed for the needs of the city, and the actual development of this area began only at the end of the 19th century . It is likely that by that time the project of Catherine’s times had been forgotten or adjusted, and as a result, the area was missing on the plans of the city in the first half of the 20th century : in its place on ul. Trubchevskoy (now Krasnoarmeyskaya) - continuous private development.
The area is returned to the city map with the approval of the post-war general plan, the implementation of which began in the 1950s . In the 1960s, five-story brick houses were erected along the perimeter of the square from the north and east, and in 1966 a monument to the soldiers and partisans - the liberators of Bryansk was installed in the center of the square, which became one of the unofficial symbols of the city. In the early 1980s , the Bryanskstat building was erected, in 1985 - the building of the regional museum of local lore , and in 2000 a 12-story “clock house” was built, which is now the local high-rise dominant.
Until now, traces of private buildings have been preserved only on the western side of the square, where the construction of a new urban registry office is planned .
In 2009 - 2010 the area was overhauled with the replacement of the cover (granite, paving slabs), the installation of a 2-tiered recreation area, the repair of fountains, the installation of commemorative stelas, new lamps, etc.
Today, Partizan Square is a permanent venue for city rallies and celebrations associated with the Great Patriotic War , and on ordinary days it is a resting place for residents of adjacent neighborhoods.
Monument to the Liberators of Bryansk
The monument to soldiers and partisans - the liberators of Bryansk - was inaugurated on September 17, 1966 , on the 23rd anniversary of the liberation of the city from Nazi invaders. Authors of the monument: sculptor A.P. Faydysh-Krandievsky , architects M.O. Barshch and A.N. Kolchin .
The sculptural and architectural complex consists of three compositions, an obelisk and a stylobate uniting them. The compositional accent of the monument is the 22-meter Victory Obelisk (concrete with granite crumb), in front of which on the pedestal of light gray granite there is a bronze sculpture of a warrior (4.2 m), embodying the image of the commissar. On the obverse side there is an inscription “For our Soviet Motherland”; on the reverse side are carved the words: “Eternal memory to the heroes who fell in the battles for freedom and independence of our Motherland. 1941-1945 ".
In front of the central composition, on either side of it, there are two sculptural groups of bronze : on the right are soldiers attacking, and on the left is a group of partisans. On the front side of the pedestal with a group of soldiers there is an inscription: "On September 17, 1943, the city of Bryansk was liberated from the Nazi invaders by soldiers of the Soviet Army and partisan formations." On a pedestal with a group of partisans - lines of a poem by A. Sofronov , which became the anthem of the Bryansk region :
“The Bryansk forest was noisy,
Blue fogs came down
And the pines heard the surroundings
How did the partisans go with victory. "
The obelisk and sculptural compositions are mounted on a common granite stylobate (10 × 20 m), in the center of which, in front of the figure of the commissar, the Eternal Flame burns. [1]
