Pomnik Żołnierzy Batalionów Chłopskich i Ludowego Związku Kobiet, Bronze monument in Mokotów, Poland.
The Pomnik Żołnierzy Batalionów Chłopskich is a bronze monument in Mokotów depicting a group of soldiers and medical assistants in movement, with figures intertwining with a large grain ear positioned at the rear. The composition merges military elements with agricultural symbolism to create a visually layered representation.
Designed by Marek Maślaniec and Agnieszka Swierzowicz-Maslaniec, the monument was unveiled on October 8, 2019 in Warsaw. Its creation was driven by a long-term initiative from the National Association of Peasant Battalions Soldiers seeking to recognize the contributions of rural resistance efforts.
The monument honors members of rural military formations and women's organizations who defended Poland during World War II through various resistance activities. The figures shown represent the everyday bravery and commitment of these groups to their homeland.
The monument stands at the intersection of Czerniakowska Street and Aleja Polski Walczącej in the Mokotów district with straightforward access and clear signage. A designated rest area for visitors sits directly beside it, making it a comfortable spot to pause and reflect.
The figures are arranged to convey dynamic movement, blending field labor with military action within a single composition. This dual symbolism makes the monument a rare example of depicting the distinct role of peasant resistance fighters.
