The iron sculpture, life-sized, depicts a pre-revolutionary janitor in a cap and apron. These workers cleaned the streets of provincial Stavropol a hundred years ago.

The sculpture was installed in 2012 in honor of the city's 235th anniversary in the "Square of Communal Workers," near the city management office at the intersection of Dzerzhinsky and Pushkin streets.

The idea to create the monument belongs to Yuri Goloskakov, the director of the municipal services committee, and the leadership of Stavropol quickly supported his initiative.

The monument, depicting a stout man with a large broom, in a pre-revolutionary cap, apron, and felt boots, harmoniously fits into the urban landscape. Around it are stylized antique cast-iron lanterns, bins, and benches. The main point is that the monument carries a social message, urging residents to pay attention to cleanliness and order on the city's streets.

It is worth noting that monuments to janitors can now be found in many cities across Russia, from Kirov to Balashikha.
