Monument to Russian teacher, located in the city of Makhachkala on the Caspian coast, is the first monument in the world, which was dedicated to Russian teacher.

The monument is a 10-meter bronze sculpture, depicting a modest young woman on a pedestal, which is in her right hand holding a globe, and the left - an open book. At the opening of the monument to Dagestan President M. Aliyev he said that "it symbolizes the role of the Russian intelligentsia in the educational formation of the Dagestan people."

About Russian teacher wrote a book dedicated to his poetry. I still do not know the exact number of Russian intellectuals who have moved in the last century in Dagestan republic. For example, in 1925 in Dagestan taught about 30 teachers. While a common language for all peoples in the country was not, so the people in each village lived by themselves and talked a language they understand. But with the outbreak of the Great War Otochestvennoy situation is much more difficult. Many teachers have been sent to the front. After the war in Dagestan Russian school sent 450 teachers. Somewhat later, the number of young professionals is growing rapidly (up to 1500 thousand. Pers. Per year).

Most of the young women teachers had no idea where they are sent to work. Coming teachers was very hard to get used to a new life in this country, with the harsh life of the Mountain, severe customs and traditions, to gender bias. But the love of the work and patriotism prevented them discouraged. Many former students still remember their teachers taught them during the Soviet era.

Monument to Russian teacher in Makhachkala - a symbol of the effort, work and self-sacrifice of Russian teachers, who will remain forever in the memory of his disciples.
