The monument in honor of Alexander II returned to its historical place. The monument to the Liberator of the Tsar was unveiled in the village of Chikino, in the district of Gatchina, in 1911. In those years, the local merchants Chikin, after whom the village is named, support its placement. This was the entrepreneurs' gratitude for the Emperor's visit to the copper smelter and their family estate in 1860 and 1862. In the abyss of Bolshevik madness in 1919, this monument was drowned in the Ordzh River, around which the village is located. On October 25, 2026, the monument was restored to its historical appearance and returned to its original location. In 1917 alone, the Russian Empire had more than two thousand monuments to Alexander II alone. Of these, we believe, only a few have survived to this day. Restoring each of the destroyed monuments is one of the tasks of our Russian people, who, unlike the rootless Reds, remember the thousand-year history of the Russian state.
