The Monument to Stalevarov is a notable landmark in Zaporozhye, marking the beginning of the city's industrial history. Situated in the industrial zone, it is surrounded by metallurgical enterprises and their subcontractors. One can easily see the pipes of the city's industrial heart on Khortitsa, near the mound.
Unlike many other monuments affected by decommunization, this monument remains untouched. It serves as one of the attractions in this industrial city, offering a unique perspective on the local history.
The monument portrays a steelmaker with impressive abs, indicating his dedication to maintaining a strong physique, possibly obtained through rigorous gym workouts. Unlike many steelmakers who would typically indulge in beer after a hard day's work at the open-hearth furnaces, this industrious figure stands out.
The monument leaves a lasting impression, as it stands tall and resilient in a time when such structures are being demolished. It is an interesting place to visit, although lacking in necessary infrastructure for visitors.
Interestingly, there is a market nearby, offering a decent selection of goods, even though it may have fewer sellers on a Monday. However, the quality and level of service provided by the sellers is average at best.
The steelmaker depicted in the monument often appears to be checking his watch, perhaps eagerly awaiting the end of his shift. It is a relief that the monument does not feature Lenin, as many similar statues have been removed or toppled elsewhere.
Overall, the Monument to Stalevarov stands as a symbol of Zaporozhye's industrial heritage, offering a glimpse into the city's past and the hardworking individuals who contributed to its growth.

The imprint of industrialization, which began a new industrial history of Zaporozhye!!!!!

The very first on the way will be ZALK (aluminum plant), which, unfortunately, has not been working for a long time! On Khortitsa, in the area of the mound, the pipes of the industrial heart of the city are clearly visible.

The steelmaker has good abs, it is clear that he specially pumped such a press in the gym, perhaps after hard work at the open-hearth furnaces, instead of drinking beer like 90% of steelmakers.

By the way, not a bad choice in the market, although few sellers were working on Monday. True, the quality and level of service is so-so, to be honest.

Compared to modern stone monuments, art is true. In a way, a symbol of the city: the city owes its former growth to factories. But, like the monument, it gradually dies, collapses and degrades ...

The monument was unveiled in November 1963 and was dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the first smelting of cast iron at the Zaporizhstal plant. The creator of the reinforced concrete sculpture of Stalevar is the sculptor Ivan Nosenko.

It was interesting for me to meet in a city that has a metallurgical past and a real monument telling about the work of many thousands of people! The sculpture itself is interesting - not very high, but not small, made in the technique that was used ..

It is gratifying that the place around is well-groomed and beautiful!

The place is not a bad monument in general, it's super! There are pockets of parking nearby, there is a good store for furniture fittings, a grocery store next to the hotel across the road. But while one lane is being repaired, be careful!
