The lot contains, in all likelihood, a presentation prototype of a monument to participants in the “January Uprising of 1918.” With the author's signature of the sculptor Vasily Pavlovich Vinaykin, and the original monument itself was installed in the capital of Ukraine, Kiev, in 1967, in the year of the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution, at the mass grave of the uprising participants.

The authors of the monument are sculptors Vasily Pavlovich Vinaykin and Vladimir Vasilyevich Klimov, architect Vasily Georgievich Gnezdilov. The prototype itself was signed by sculptor Vasily Pavlovich Vinaykin. 

The monument was erected in 1967 for the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution of 1917 over the mass grave of the participants in the uprising. “The ideological role of this pedestal was to praise the Bolsheviks, who staged an armed rebellion against the Ukrainian Central Rada and the Ukrainian People’s Republic.

On January 22, 1918, the Central Rada of Ukraine proclaimed the Ukrainian People's Republic an independent state. On January 29, a Bolshevik uprising began in Kyiv with the goal of overthrowing the Central Rada, which was suppressed on February 4. After a short time, the Bolsheviks managed to take Kyiv, after which until 1920, when the city was again taken by the Red Army, power in the capital of Ukraine changed about 10 more times.

The so-called “January uprising” is an armed uprising in Kyiv on January 16-22, 1918, organized by the Kyiv committee of the Russian Bolshevik Party against the Ukrainian Central Rada and the Ukrainian People's Republic during the offensive of Soviet Russian troops on Kyiv. The mutiny lasted seven days and accelerated the occupation of Kyiv by the Bolsheviks.

On December 23, 2023, the monument was demolished by the city authorities of Kyiv; its further fate is not reported.

In the last three photos you can see copies, screenshots: of the funeral of the uprising participants, a photo of the monument itself in Kyiv, the process of its demolition and dismantling.
