| Description | Orekhovo-Zuyevo is an industrial city in Moscow Oblast, Russia, located 85 kilometers east of Moscow in a forested area on the Klyazma River. The city was established in 1917 when three villages (Orekhovo, Zuyevo, and Nikolskoye) were merged, hence its name. Population: 120,670 (2010 Census)
The first and largest Russian strike occurred in 1885 at Morozov’s textile factories in Orekhovo-Zuyevo. Starting on January 7, 1885, at 10 o’clock in the morning, Vasily Volkov raised his hand and a red flag symbolizing victory for the workers and for all to follow him. On the fifth day of the strike, soldiers with their bayonets fixed arrived to arrest the leaders, Volkov and F. Shelukhin, at which time they shouted to their comrades and brothers, “Remember, one for all and all for one!” This strike lasted several weeks and created the momentum for the revolutionary movement in Russia. |
