Young Guard memorial complex, War memorial complex in Sorokyne, Ukraine.
The Young Guard memorial complex is a war monument in Sorokyne featuring stone sculptures and architectural elements in the socialist realism style. Designed by artist Aleksandr Sidorenko, the ensemble consists of several components that form a unified memorial.
The memorial commemorates a Soviet youth group that carried out sabotage acts against German occupation forces during World War II. The resistance movement contributed to local history through covert operations and acts of defiance during that era.
The site attracts visitors who come to remember those who resisted occupation, playing a role in how the community connects with its past. People of different ages gather here to keep that history alive in their minds.
The complex is easily accessible on foot and located at a central point in town. Information boards are displayed on site to help visitors understand what they are seeing.
Each sculpture in the ensemble represents a different aspect of resistance, from secret meetings to acts of defiance. The arrangement of these elements together tells a story of activities during the occupation.
