Monument "Honor and Glory to Soviet army", Soviet military monument in Litoměřice, Czech Republic.
The Monument "Honor and Glory to Soviet army" combines stone sculptures and military figures in a unified composition. It sits within a public park and comprises several interconnected elements that form a complete memorial structure.
Sculptor Otakar Petros created the work in 1975 to commemorate Soviet military involvement in the liberation of Central Europe during the war. Its construction occurred during a period when such memorials were commonly erected across the region.
The memorial marks a chapter in local history when Soviet forces held significant influence over the region. Today it serves as a place where visitors can observe how this era remains part of the city's identity and public spaces.
The memorial is accessible via well-marked pathways through the park, with parking available near the surrounding area. Getting there is straightforward thanks to its central location and convenient transport links.
The memorial has remained at its original location while political views toward Soviet monuments shifted dramatically across the region. This makes it a rare example of continuity in a landscape that otherwise transformed significantly.
