A monument to the Arsenal uprising in front of Arsenalna metro station, before it was vandalized by activists in June 2019[citation needed]
The Kiev Arsenal January Uprising (Ukrainian: Січневе повстання, romanized: Sichneve povstannya), sometimes simply called the January Uprising or the January Rebellion, was a Bolshevik-organized workers' armed revolt that started on January 29, 1918, at the Arsenal Factory in Kiev during the Soviet–Ukrainian War. The goal of the uprising was to sabotage the ongoing elections to the Ukrainian Constituent Assembly and to support the advancing Red Army.
