Kurgan Bessmertiya, Memorial complex in Sovetskiy District, Bryansk, Russia
The Kurgan Bessmertiya monument consists of an 18-meter high concrete star structure mounted on a 12-meter pentagonal earthen mound in Solovyi Park.
The memorial was established on May 7, 1967, incorporating soil from Soviet hero cities including Stalingrad, Brest Fortress, Odessa, Leningrad, and Sevastopol.
The five-pointed star monument stands as a tribute to Bryansk residents who died defending their homeland during the Great Patriotic War.
Visitors can climb the granite steps to reach the observation platform at the top, offering views of the Desna River and the surrounding park.
An artillery barrel containing a time capsule with a message to future generations was buried under the mound during its construction.
