Ivan Susanin is a national hero, who died in 1613 sacrificing his life to save Tsar. He was a logger who promised Polish troops to show a short way to Hypatian Monastery in Kostroma, where was hiding Tsar Mikhail Romanov. Instead he led them into the deep forest so they never return, probably died because of cold winter. Words that are cut on monument say: "To Ivan Susanin patriot of the Russian land".
