Alley of Angels, Memorial in Lenin Comsomol Park, Donetsk.

The Alley of Angels in Lenin Komsomol Park is a memorial complex centered on a bronze-colored sculpture of two children: a taller boy in a short-sleeved shirt and knee-length shorts, his head tilted upward, and a shorter girl in a knee-length dress holding his right arm with both hands. Nearby, a dark mottled stone slab with an arched top bears three lines of gold Cyrillic text: "Аллея ангелов", "Памяти погибшим", "детям Донбасса". Stuffed toys and pinecones lie at its foot.

The memorial slab of red Tok granite was installed on 3 May 2015 and unveiled on 5 May 2015, after a design competition won by Donetsk blacksmith Viktor Mikhalev. A forged arch 2.5 m high and 2 m wide followed in August 2015, and the bronze sculpture of a boy and his younger sister was added on 2 June 2017, modelled on Kirill Sidoryuk and made by Denis Seleznyov after a design by Igor Martynov.

The memorial's name comes from the wrought-iron arch of roses, Donetsk's horticultural symbol, into which cartridge cases and doves are worked; a bell cast from a 152 mm howitzer shell hangs from it. The arch and the granite plaque listing 66 names and ages were moved to Victory Park in Kalininsky district. Visitors leave stuffed toys and pinecones at the foot of the stone.

The memorial stands in Lenin Komsomol Park, north of central Donetsk, near the children's Little Railway. The forged arch and the granite slab with 66 names were moved to Victory Park by the Palace of Pioneers on Shevchenko Boulevard, so the alley now holds the 2017 sculpture and the memorial stone.

The memorial's arch, forged by Viktor Mikhalev, is 2.5 m high and 2 m wide, made of roses (Donetsk's symbol) with large-calibre machine-gun cartridges woven between them and doves on top. A bell cast from a 152 mm howitzer shell hangs from it. The arch and the granite plaque listing 66 children's names and ages were moved to Victory Park near the Palace of Pioneers on Shevchenko Boulevard.
