Sbratření, Bronze memorial statue in Vrchlického Gardens, Prague, Czech Republic

Sbratření is a 2.7-metre bronze by Karel Pokorný showing a Soviet soldier in a cape and cap on a low ledge, bending to embrace and kiss a Czech militiaman who rises on his toes. The soldier's right hand holds a sprig of lilac, a motif of the May 1945 liberation of Prague.

Karel Pokorný conceived the idea in 1945, and the sculpture was made in 1950 for a monument in Česká Třebová, where it was installed in 1951. A copy was placed in Prague in 1960 and replaced in 1988. After the 1991 removal of the Soviet Tank Crews monument and the 2020 removal of the Ivan Konev statue, it became Prague's main World War II memorial.

The memorial has generated numerous discussions regarding its representation of male relationships and national identity within public art in Czech society.

The sculpture stands in Vrchlického sady, the park strip in front of Prague's main railway station, in Praha 1. The bronze is 2.7 metres tall, so the lowered Soviet soldier's face and the militiaman's upturned head are best seen from the side the figures lean toward. Walk around the plinth to follow the diagonal of the rifle and the cloak.

The sculpture's image appeared on the 1953 Czechoslovak fifty-koruna banknote and on Soviet and Czechoslovak postage stamps. A copy was installed in Prague in 1960, in Leningrad in 1977 and in Kurpaty, Crimea, in 1985.
