Братское военное кладбище, Military cemetery in Minsk, Belarus
The cemetery is a burial ground in Minsk containing roughly 3,000 graves and military memorials spread across maintained pathways. Information plaques throughout the grounds identify fallen soldiers and provide details about those commemorated here.
The cemetery began in the 1840s as a burial place for soldiers who died at the Minsk Military Hospital. An expanded section was added in 1895 to accommodate growing needs.
The cemetery holds monuments honoring Belarusian writers, connecting military service with the nation's literary tradition. Visitors can see how this place weaves together remembrance of soldiers with celebration of cultural figures.
The grounds are accessible on foot with maintained paths and seating areas for visitors. A chapel on site provides a quiet space for ceremonies and reflection.
In 2010, an obelisk was added to honor graduates of military schools who died in combat. This monument specifically commemorates alumni of the Suvorov and Nakhimov military academies.
