BAM Builders Monument

Russian Far East


This iconic and rather aggressive looking statue is Tynda's most obvious sight. It's dedicated to the massive human effort (both voluntary and not) needed to build the extraordinary Baikal-Amur Magistral (BAM) railway line. Locals know the statue colloquially as muzhchina s molotkom – the guy with the hammer.
