Скульптурная композиция «С чего начинается Родина» в г. Тюмени, Memorial monument in Tyumen, Russia
This monument depicts a boy standing on a stool, reaching for his grandfather's military coat adorned with medals and decorations. The bronze sculpture rises on a granite base and features small niches on the back side where candles can be placed.
The monument was unveiled on August 14, 2014, during celebrations marking 70 years since the Tyumen region's founding. It was created in anticipation of the 70th anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War.
The memorial walls display family photographs and personal items honoring relatives who served in conflicts. Visitors can connect with stories spanning multiple generations as they view these images and wartime correspondence on display.
The memorial is located in a public space and accessible at any time of day. Keep in mind that weather conditions can affect candles placed in the niches, so bringing wind-resistant materials is helpful if you plan to light candles.
The artwork draws inspiration from a classic Soviet song and poem theme about the bond between a child and grandfather. This connection to well-known cultural works makes the sculpture resonate with many who grew up hearing these stories.
