Nurse Monument

A monument to a nurse is installed in the Pervokazalnyy Square of Cherepovets city. It is dedicated to the heroic role of nurses during World War II when Cherepovets became a huge hospital that received over 2.5 million wounded soldiers and residents of besieged Leningrad. The monument's author is sculptor A. Rozhnikov. The concept of the monument depicts a nurse as an angel-guardian leading people from the world of war into the world of compassion. The monument was opened in 2015 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Victory, symbolizing the feat of doctors and nurses who went to the front from Cherepovets railway station on the famous "Mercy Train".
