This constructivist funerary sculpture on the Communist Section of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra marks the 1921 grave of Nikolay Vasilyevich Bakhvalov, remembered in Petrograd lore as one of the pioneer automobile drivers and motor mechanics of early revolutionary Russia. In the chaotic aftermath of the Civil War, professional chauffeurs and mechanics formed an indispensable technical corps operating transport trucks and armored vehicles, prompting local authorities to allocate Bakhvalov a burial site within the monastery s inner courtyard. Eschewing stone stelae and traditional Orthodox funerary emblems, the memorial was fabricated by fellow workers from authentic mechanical components representing the deceased s trade. The structure rests on a concrete plinth anchored by paired cast-iron spoked wheels, surmounted by horizontal spur gears and transmission rings. Heavy roller drive chains--the type utilized in early chain-driven motorcars and industrial machinery--extend upward in a triangular pyramid to meet a central vertical shaft and finial that originally displayed a metal nameplate. Created during the War Communism era, the monument represents a rare surviving specimen of early Soviet Productivist and Proletkult memorial art. By assembling discarded industrial hardware into an emblem of proletarian labor and mechanized modernization directly opposite baroque monastic architecture, the work embodied the early Bolshevik effort to replace religious mourning traditions with a secular cult of the machine.
