Alexander Nevsky monument in Samolva, Monument complex near Chudskoe Lake in Samolva, Russia

The memorial features a 15-meter bronze sculpture positioned on a 6-meter mound, depicting Alexander Nevsky alongside nine warriors, three mounted and six on foot.

The bronze figures carry banners with religious symbols, including the main flag displaying the image of Christ Not Made by Human Hands.

The memorial complex, inaugurated in September 2021, stands on the shore of Lake Peipus in the Gdovsky district of Pskov Oblast.

The monument includes fallen enemy armor beneath the warriors' feet and incorporates detailed mosaic work created by distinguished Russian artists.
