Monument to the Don Cossacks, Bronze monument to military heritage in Kruzhilin, Russia.
The Monument to the Don Cossacks features a 6-meter bronze statue of a soldier wearing a military great-coat and peaked cap on a low pedestal.
The monument's concept originated in 1956 during preparations for an exhibition celebrating the 40th anniversary of the October Revolution in the Soviet Union.
Local residents connect the monument's figure with Grigory Melechov, the central character from Mikhail Sholokhov's novel 'And Quiet Flows the Don'.
Visitors can find the monument along the R271 highway connecting Millerovo to Vyoshenskaya, near the settlement of Kruzhilinskiy in Rostov Oblast.
The monument stands on an 8-meter barrow, reaching a total combined weight of 8 tons and incorporating a memorial stone with an inscription in Russian.
