Zoya va Aleksandr Kosmodemyanskiy haykali, Soviet heroes memorial in Novopodmoskovnaya Street, Moscow, Russia.
The memorial on Novopodmoskovskaya Street is a polished red granite stele carved with portraits of siblings Zoya and Alexander Kosmodemyansky. An inscription on the stone documents the exact address of their former residence.
The monument marks the location of the house where the two siblings lived from 1933 to 1941, before their deaths during World War II. Their actions as Soviet resistance fighters against Nazi occupation earned them the title of Heroes of the Soviet Union.
The memorial is a gathering place where people leave flowers to honor two siblings who became symbols of resistance against Nazi occupation during the war.
The memorial stands on a public street and is freely accessible at all times. The location is well-signposted and easy to find on foot.
The memorial underwent major restoration work in 2015 to preserve the carved portraits and protect the red granite surface from weathering. This restoration brought back the sharpness of the carved details and inscriptions.
