Burst monuments, World War II memorial site in Volokolamsky District, Russia.
The Burst Monument features a granite pedestal with engraved dates 1941-1945 and concrete trenches surrounding a ceremonial square at kilometer 114 of Volokolamsk Highway.
In 1981, this monument was erected to honor 11 combat engineers of the 8th Guards Rifle Division who delayed enemy forces for five hours in November 1941.
The memorial includes an eternal flame platform and defensive position replicas that represent the strategic military engineering techniques used during the Battle of Moscow.
Located along the Volokolamsk Highway, the monument incorporates an authentic German StuG III tank recovered from a nearby swamp during the memorial's construction.
The monument's perimeter features reconstructed communication trenches and firing positions that mirror the exact defensive layout used by the combat engineers.
