Monument to Krasnodon Heroes

The Monument to Krasnodon Heroes is an 11 meter tall structure made of bronze and granite near Ekaterinhof Park. It features detailed bronze elements designed by architect Valerian Kirhoglani that illustrate important moments from the historical events it commemorates.

The monument was erected in 1956 to honor members of the Young Guard, a resistance movement active during World War II. These young fighters opposed occupation forces in their region during that conflict.

The monument serves as a gathering place where visitors come to pay respect to those remembered here. Ceremonies and commemorative events take place throughout the year at this location.

The monument is accessible by public transportation and located near Ekaterinhof Park. Visitors can view it throughout the year without restrictions or admission fees.

The bronze reliefs depict specific scenes from the lives of young resistance fighters rather than abstract symbols. These detailed scenes become more moving when you examine them closely during your visit.
