Nolinsk of the Soviet period.

When in August 1918 the First Moscow Regiment, which arrived in Urzhum to collect food surplus, rebelled, its commander, former officer Stepanov, led the regiment from Urzhum to Nolinsk. Some of the Nolin communists did not have time to escape and locked themselves in the building of the former religious school. They began to shoot back, but there were many windows in the building, it was impossible to keep track of them all, so when kerosene was pumped into the first floor and set on fire, the resistance stopped. Some surrendered, some fled but were caught, some managed to escape. Seventeen people were killed, among them the military commissar of Nolinsky district Andrei Vikharev, born in 1892. A little to the side is another board with the text “Historical Monument. In this building, on May 1, 1918, the first Nolinsk city meeting of the Bolsheviks was held on the current situation, the strengthening of Soviet power and the growth of party ranks.
