Monument of Glory, Samara
Monument of Glory, Samara, War memorial in Samara, Russia
The Monument of Glory rises 53 meters high with a steel figure extending wings over its head, mounted on a forty-meter light ray-shaped pedestal.
During World War II, Samara factories manufactured 28,000 Ilyushin Il-2 and Il-10 aircraft, representing 80 percent of the total Soviet ground-attack aircraft production.
The monument stands as a central gathering point for commemorative ceremonies and serves as a memorial to workers of the local aircraft industry.
Located at coordinates 53.204006, 50.110893 in the Leninsky district, the monument offers views of the Volga River from its northwestern position.
The construction fund allowed each worker to contribute exactly one ruble, making the monument a collective achievement of the local industrial community.
