Slavín, War memorial and military cemetery in Bratislava, Slovakia.
The memorial includes a 39-meter high obelisk topped with an 11-meter bronze statue of a soldier holding a flag and crushing a swastika.
Built between 1957 and 1960, Slavín serves as the burial ground for 6,845 Soviet soldiers who died during the liberation of Bratislava in April 1945.
The monument represents both gratitude for Soviet sacrifices in World War II and complex memories related to subsequent Communist Party control in Czechoslovakia.
Visitors can reach the memorial by taking bus 147 from the city center to the monument stairs, with the journey lasting approximately 10 minutes.
The memorial complex contains six mass graves, 278 individual graves, and a ceremonial hall featuring white marble sarcophagus and sculptural decorations.
