26_Commissars_Memorial
The 26 Baku Commissars Memorial was a Soviet-era monument located in Baku, Azerbaijan, that paid tribute to the 26 Baku Commissars from the Baku commune. The commune was overthrown in 1918 and the commissars were later executed near Krasnovodsk (now Türkmenbaşy). The monument was constructed by sculptors I. Zeynalov and N. Mamedov, and architects G. Aleskerov and Alesker Huseynov, who eventually became prominent politicians in Azerbaijan. The remains of the Commissars were buried at the site of the memorial.
