“Can you imagine the sacrifices made by those who fought for our freedom?” In December 2016, the 75th anniversary of the start of the Red Army’s counteroffensive near Moscow, a memorial complex dedicated to the Cities of Military Glory was opened. This impressive 16-meter stela is dedicated to the soldiers of the Great Patriotic War and the fortitude of the entire nation during those difficult years. The complex includes 45 granite slabs, each featuring the emblem of a City of Military Glory. The sculptor Salavat Shcherbakov, also renowned for his Monument to Prince Vladimir and the Monument to the Anti-Hitler Coalition, was responsible for designing this poignant memorial. Alleya Voinskoy Slavy serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and resilience displayed by the Russian people during one of the most challenging periods in their history.
