Kurgan Bessmertiya, Memorial complex in Sovetskiy District, Bryansk, Russia

Kurgan Bessmertiya is a war memorial in Solovyi Park, made of an 18-meter tall concrete star mounted on a 12-meter pentagonal earthen mound. A granite staircase leads to an observation platform at the summit, offering views across the park and surrounding areas.

The mound was laid on 7 May 1967, when soil from mass graves across the Bryansk region, from Soviet hero cities and from Shipka in Bulgaria was carried to the site by mothers of fallen soldiers, veterans and Young Communist members. Earthworks by Bryansk Komsomol volunteers ran through 1967–1968, and the first stage opened on 28 October 1968, before the league's 50th anniversary. A 1975 competition, won by a team led by architect V. A. Teplyakov, produced the star pylons, completed and unveiled on 17 September 1976.

The mound was raised by Bryansk Komsomol members in 1967–1968, and the star pylons were added in 1976. Soil from mass graves across Bryansk region, from Soviet hero cities and from Shipka in Bulgaria was brought to the site at its founding. The inscription at the base addresses Bryansk residents who fell for the freedom of the Motherland.

Two short granite staircases continue from the lower landing to the summit platform, which looks out over the left bank of the Desna. The mound rises 12 metres, so the climb is short but steady. The park setting makes the memorial easy to reach on foot.

At the mound's base lies a buried artillery barrel holding a capsule addressed to Bryansk residents of 2017, the centenary of the October Revolution. Its text urges them never to forget the partisan past and to cherish the freedom won by their grandfathers. The capsule was sealed when the mound was laid in 1967.
