Monument to the Red Army, War memorial in Moravská Ostrava, Czech Republic.

The Monument to the Red Army in Komenského sady consists of a 13-metre pylon topped by a five-pointed star, flanked by two ten-metre granite-clad arms bearing inscriptions and the bronze reliefs Fight and Sacrifice by Karel Vávra. In front stands a granite mausoleum with Konrád Babraj's four-metre bronze of a Czech worker and a Russian soldier, reached by a granite staircase.

The memorial was built after 1945 to honor the Soviet Army's role in freeing Czechoslovakia from Nazi occupation in the final months of World War II. This marked the beginning of a new chapter in Eastern European history.

The monument offers visitors a chance to understand the Soviet role in liberating Eastern Europe from Nazi control. The sculptures and inscriptions tell of a moment that shaped the region for decades to come.

The memorial stands in Komenského sady park in Moravská Ostrava. The granite staircase and uneven ground around the mausoleum require care. A camera system monitors the site since vandalism in 2019.

The memorial reflects both Soviet and Czech perspectives on liberation and the period that followed. This dual interpretation makes it a place where visitors can understand the complexity of that historical moment.
