Zhelezniakov is a river monitor of the Soviet Navy (Project SB-37), the lead ship of its class of six ships. Completed during the 1930s it participated in World War II and was the only one of its class that survived the war.[1]
The ship was named after the Russian sailor Anatoli Zhelezniakov who was famous for being among those who dispersed the Russian Constituent Assembly in 1918 and his saying "The guard has grown weary".
In 1967 it was installed in the Sailor's Park at Rybalskyi island as a monument-memorial. The same year around the monument was created the Sailor's Park (official name "To the sailor's of the Dnieper Flotilla"). The ship is a landmark of science and technology, history with a protected number 260062-N.
