Монумент «Памяти забытой войны, изменившей ход истории», War memorial monument in Gusev, Russia.
The monument consists of three bronze figures: a soldier crucified on a wheel and two women reaching out to him.
The monument commemorates the Battle of Gumbinnen in August 1914, where Russian forces successfully engaged German troops during World War I.
Sculptor Mikhail Shemyakin incorporated historical photographs, maps, and wartime documents into cabinet-like pedestals beneath the bronze figures.
The memorial stands within the Technopolis GS innovation cluster, accessible via the main transportation routes of Gusev.
The pedestal features destroyed cabinets containing actual military documentation and photographs from the Eastern Front of World War I.
