Památník osvobození Rudou armádou, War memorial in Čechovy sady, Olomouc, Czech Republic.

The Memorial of the Red Army, also called the Liberation Memorial, is an obelisk with a hexagonal base standing at the edge of Čechovy sady. Its shape was inspired by the Baroque Holy Trinity Column on Horní náměstí, and a red five-pointed star, formerly lit by neon, tops it. Four graves of Red Army soldiers who died liberating Olomouc lie in front.

Unveiled on 15 July 1945, 68 days after the end of World War II in Europe, the memorial was the first architectural work in Czechoslovakia in the socialist realist style. It was designed by Olomouc architect Jaroslav Kovář Jr., and its construction was funded by a public collection that raised over 100,000 crowns in a few weeks. About 50,000 people attended the unveiling.

The obelisk's shape follows the Baroque Holy Trinity Column on Horní náměstí, and its summit carries a red five-pointed star that was once lit by neon. Bronze plaques with enlarged replicas of war medals, designed by sculptor Karel Lenhart, were stolen in the 1990s and provisionally replaced by metal tablets in 1995.

The memorial is located within Čechovy sady park and remains accessible to visitors year-round without restrictions. It stands in a public space where you can walk freely and spend as much time as you need.

The obelisk was originally meant to stand on the site of the Red Church on třída Svobody, but the church was kept and the memorial went to the park edge instead. A scaled-down copy stands in the Chomoutov district of Olomouc.
