Soldatskoye Pole, War memorial in Volgograd, Russia
The memorial complex features a star-shaped crater filled with artillery fragments, surrounded by plow blades and a bronze sculpture of a girl.
The site marks a fierce battlefield from 1942 during the Battle of Stalingrad, where Soviet forces fought against German troops in World War II.
The memorial includes a marble letter-shaped plaque containing an authentic text from a Stalingrad defender, expressing the human dimension of the conflict.
Visitors can reach the memorial complex via the Volgograd-Moscow highway, with regular transportation options available from central Volgograd throughout the year.
Before becoming a memorial, the field required extensive demining operations that recovered over 6,500 unexploded ordnance items by autumn 1975.
