Monument to City of Military Glory, Military memorial column in Rzhev, Russia.

The Monument to City of Military Glory is a granite stele on Sovetskaya Square, 10 metres high and 17 metres wide, topped by a gilded coat of arms of the Russian Federation. A plaque on its base reproduces the decree granting Rzhev the honorary title, and four pylons with bas-reliefs stand at the edges.

Rzhev received the honorary title City of Military Glory by presidential decree No. 1345 on 8 October 2007, and the title was presented in the Catherine Hall of the Moscow Kremlin on 7 November 2007. The stele itself was unveiled on Sovetskaya Square on 8 May 2010, the day before Victory Day. Its construction was funded with 19.75 million rubles from the Tver Oblast budget.

The stele's bas-reliefs carry the lines of Alexander Tvardovsky's poem "I Was Killed Near Rzhev", and the first pylon links the Rzhev druzhina to the Battle of Kulikovo and the war of 1812. Since 2022 the city also keeps a Sword of Victory, forged in Zlatoust, gilded at 999.9 purity and set with garnets and blue topazes.

The stele stands on Sovetskaya Square, Rzhev's main square, so it is reached on foot from the surrounding streets. The composition is 10 m high and 17 m wide, with four pylons at the edges, so allow time to walk around all sides. The opening took place on 8 May 2010, the day before 9 May.

The first of the four pylons is not about the Great Patriotic War at all: its reliefs show the Battle of Kulikovo and the War of 1812, in both of which a Rzhev druzhina fought. The other three cover 1941–1943, and one carries lines from Tvardovsky's poem "I was killed near Rzhev…".
