    Artiom monument was erected in 1927 to honor the memory of the Communist party leader Fyodor Sergeyev (Artiom).
    The monument was designed by the sculptor G.Verbenko and architect Ivan Kavaleridze.
    It was designed in cubism manner. The monument is a monolith.
    Its height is 22 meters and along with the foundation its height comprises about 28 meters.

    Here are some of my pictures that date back to the summer of 1980 when I worked at a children's camp there.

    The shield on the big coat-of-arms is supported by a Free Village Cossack (on the left) and by a Russian 16-century frontier warrior (on the right).
    The shield represents the treasures of the town: the natural landscapes and the merited monastery.
    The town also has a flag and a hymn.

    I'd like to share these pictures of Svyatogorsk with you, too.
    I took these pictures in the summer of 1980 when I worked in this town as a pioneer leader at a children's pioneer camp outside the town.

    Having you, Most Holy Mother of God, as a wall of salvation, we are saved; do not neglect, our Sovereign, and heed our prayers.
    These words from an Orthodox prayer are inscribed at the pedestal of the statue of the Mother of God that was erected at the entrance to the monastery in 2003 when the monastery became a Lavra (merited monastery).
    The monastery entrance is guarded by the Russian Cossacks of Svyatogorsk Cossack Regiment. I asked one of the Cossacks to take a picture of him or with him, but to no avail: it is prohibited.

    The whole monastery territory belongs to the State Nature Park called Holy Mountains.
