Sergei Lazo hideout memorial

Description

This is a scan of landmark dedicated to Sergei Lazo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Lazo) Sergey (Serghei, Sergei) Georgiyevich Lazo (Russian: Серге́й Гео́ргиевич Лазо́, Romanian: Serghei Lazo; March 7, 1894 – April–May 1920) was a Communist leader in the October 1917 Revolution in the Russian Far East. On January 31, 1920 the Bolsheviks took power in Vladivostok, but on April 5, 1920 Lazo and other commanders were arrested by Japanese troops. Then, Lazo disappeared, along with Vsevolod Sibirtsev and Alexey Lutski. Reportedly they were shot shortly after, but the exact details of the execution have never been known yet. It is widely believed that the Japanese or Cossacks of the White movement burned them in the firebox of a steam engine in Muravyevo-Amurskaya (currently Lazo) station. This is memorial to his hideout in the mountains near Vladivostok.
