According to archival documents and eyewitness accounts, it was found that the first monument to the victims was a wooden obelisk built in the mine yard.
As the soil under the monument settled, the monument is deformed, and it was decided to establish it on a more stable place. It was later replaced by a granite obelisk, which was located on the site of the present entrance to the memorial.
For the 10-year anniversary of Victory in the place of the shaft, in which are buried Soviet citizens, was erected a monument to the fallen heroes and the Eternal flame was lit.
The next step was designing the Krasinski memorial of the time when the sculptor I. Reznichenko carved monumental figure of a miner with an eternal flame in his hands. A memorial at the mine to them.

There is the idea of the burial mound, the symbols of eternity, of the information embodied in the minds of people. The grieving figure of a miner holding a bowl of fire, as if slicing through the space between the pylons and recalls a terrible tragedy here. The shaft that dumped people, decorated in the form of decorative grilles. Concrete pylons, faced with granite chips, and the sculpture — copper leaves.. Thoughtfully solved the traffic pattern of the visitors of the memorial complex. The sculpture of the miner is located on the axis of the street.
