🏛 Kirov Plant and the Putilov Monument

ул. Газа / пр. Стачек, 47

The main gate of the former Putilov Plant and the monument to its founder Nikolai Putilov.

The plant dates back to 1801, when the state Kronstadt iron foundry was moved here.
In 1868 the enterprise was bought by Nikolai Putilov and became the Putilov Plant.
In 1911 the destroyer Novik was launched here — the fastest ship in the world at the time.
In 1924 the plant produced the first Soviet tractor, the Fordson-Putilovets.
On 17 December 1934, 16 days after Kirov's assassination, the plant was renamed after Kirov.
The monument to Putilov by the sculptor Konstantin Garapach was unveiled by the gate in October 2020.
