This is the only monument here, erected to one particular person in the Komsomol square. Moreover, it is not just a monument, but the burial place of this man. Who is he – Serebryansky Viktor Georgievich, 36 years old, that he was buried not in the cemetery, but in the central recreation place of the townspeople at that time? And even more than 2 years after the liberation of the city from the Nazi invaders. The story of Pavel Spiridonovich Laktionov, who was the first secretary of the Alchevsk City Party committee immediately after the liberation of the city in 1943, sheds light on this issue. There it was found out that Serebryansky Viktor Georgievich was the first secretary of the Alchevsk city party committee. Young people most likely do not understand what kind of position this is, what its level is. Previously, there was no position of mayor of the city. There were two of the most senior and responsible people in the city - the chairman of the city executive committee and the first secretary of the city party committee. Serebryansky was a respected man. His murder was a very high-profile event. As evidenced by his burial in the Pioneer Square, in fact, in the center of that time. Serebryansky V.G. was killed on October 28, 1945 in Alchevsk. According to one version, he was killed in his apartment, shot through the door. According to another version, he was killed not in his apartment, but on the threshold of his house. This house is intact. Serebryansky's wife and daughter lived there.
