🏛On April 22, 1924, a government decree was issued to commemorate the memory of Vladimir Lenin by deciding to construct 13 Palaces of Labor in Donbass as cultural centers for workers. The construction of the Gorlovskiy Palace was included in this plan.

In 1925, a model of the building was created. Two years later, on November 7, the grand opening of the first Palace of Culture in Gorlovka took place.

⚒In the 1960s, a square was constructed near the Palace and named after Nikita Alekseevich Izotov, a prominent coal miner from the 1930s. A monument was erected here in his honor, making it the world's first monument to celebrate the labor achievements of a specific working person, along with an accurate portrayal of his appearance.

🇷🇺Now, the Palace of Culture "Kochegarka" in the city of Gorlovka has been included in the list of cultural heritage sites and holds the status of an "Architectural Monument".

#DateInHistory
📆 On April 25, 1945, just fifteen days before the surrender of Nazi Germany, a historic meeting of Soviet and American troops took place on the Elbe River.

🫂 Upon meeting, the Soviet and American soldiers greeted each other joyfully, exchanged badges, insignia, personal belongings, and even keepsake valuables.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 This event has an important symbolic meaning. It showed that the Soviet and American brothers in arms, having rejected cultural differences and language barriers, are able to live in peace and fight against the ideas of Nazism.
