This monument on the Communist Section of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra marks the grave of Mikhail Abramovich Fishman (1890-1935), a Bolshevik cadre and Civil War veteran. Prominently situated along the main avenue facing the entrance to Holy Trinity Cathedral, the grave is known locally as the "Sentry" (:0427:0430:0441:043e:0432:043e:0439). The memorial features a full-length, life-size statue of a Red Army soldier standing vigil against a dark, round-topped granite stele. Clad in a belted greatcoat (shinel), cartridge pouches, and a peaked budenovka cloth helmet bearing a star, the bronze-toned figure holds a slung Mosin rifle at attention. Placed directly on monastery ground during the height of militant Soviet secularism, the armed revolutionary guard stands as an unmistakable ideological statement, posted as an eternal sentinel facing the Orthodox cathedral.
