In the middle of Paldiski you can find a patch of holy ground. Here, far from his homeland stands a Bashkir national hero Salawat Yulayev.
Salawat Yulayev (Bashkir: Салауат Юлай-улы, Salawat Yulay-ulı; Russian: Салават Юлаев; 16 June 1754 – 26 September 1800) is a Bashkir national hero who participated in Pugachev's Rebellion. Salawat Yulayev was at the head of all revolted Bashkortostan from the very beginning of the country war of 1773-1775. He was seized by imperial authorities on November, 24th, 1774. Ten months after Salawat's capture, in September, 1775, he and his father were publicly lashed in those places where the largest battles with the governmental armies took place. In a month they both were pulled out nostrils, and their foreheads and faces were branded. On October 2, 1775, hands and legs chained, Salawat Yulajev was sent to the Baltic fortress Rogervik (nowadays the city of Paldiski in Estonia) for life. Salawat died in penal servitude on September 26, 1800. Till this time he stayed in bondage for twenty five years.
