Note: these first 4 men were the first to reconnoiter and secure the building. The building on 9 January Square was originally known as House of Soviets No.4 and even "House of Specialists" according to one source. The 4 story apartment building became "Pavlov's House" in the name of the man who led the first group of soldiers that captured the house.
