Пам'ятник Суворову, Military memorial in Rostov-on-Don, Russia.
The Suvorov Monument in Rostov-on-Don displays a bronze general atop a granite pedestal at the intersection of University Lane and Suvorov Street. The site is framed by decorative marble posts connected by metal chains and replica artillery pieces.
The monument was erected in 1999 and commemorates General Suvorov who commanded the Kuban Military Corps in 1777. Under his leadership defensive fortifications were built along the Kuban River that shaped regional development during his tenure.
Graduates of Suvorov and Nakhimov military schools funded this monument to honor their namesake general. These institutions view themselves as inheritors of Suvorov's military traditions and values.
The monument sits at a busy street intersection in the downtown area and is easily accessible on foot. It remains open to visitors at all times and serves as a gathering point especially during military commemoration events.
The pedestal bears Suvorov's words addressed to future generations: 'I ask my descendants to follow my example.' This personal message reveals how the general viewed his responsibility toward posterity.
