In Cherpovets, it was proposed to create a mural with portraits of Bria, Dzerzhinsky and Loncharsky. The governor of the Vologda region, Georgi Filimonov, published a sketch of the mural, which the city administration proposed to place on one of the houses of Cherpovets. They plan to feature Felix Dzerzhinsky, Lavrenty Bria and Anatoly Loncharsky on the front. In the sketch, under Dzerzhinsky's portrait, the "fight against the homeless" is indicated, under Bria's portrait, "the development of science and industry", and under Loncharski's portrait, "enlightenment, the fight against illiteracy". "Extraordinary historical figures who made a tremendous contribution to the formation and strengthening of our great country," Filimonov wrote. He suggested placing the mural closer to the metals factory in Cherpovets, noting that for now we are only talking about a project for next year. Felix Dzerzhinsky was the founder of the Cheka, the Soviet state security agency within which the "Red Terror" developed with mass arrests and executions without trial. Lavrenti Beria headed the NKVD in 1938-1945. During this period, the political repression and mass deportations of the peoples of the Soviet Union, including Chechens, Ings and Crimean Tatars, continued. In 1953 Beria was arrested and shot. In 2002, the Military College of the Supreme Court of Russia refused to rehabilitate him due to his involvement in political repression. In recent years, monuments to Soviet and historical figures have also been erected in the Vologda region. In particular, in 2025 a monument to Ivan the Terrible appeared in Vologda, and in 2026 a fourth monument to Stalin was opened in the area.
