Zaisan Memorial, Soviet-Mongolian memorial on Zaisan Hill in Ulan Bator, Mongolia.
A circular concrete structure with detailed mosaics stands atop a hill, offering views across the entire capital city and Tuul River valley.
Built to honor Soviet and Mongolian soldiers who fought in World War II, the memorial features scenes from the 1939 Khalkin Gol battle against Japanese forces.
The memorial's mosaics depict military achievements, peace missions, and space exploration, including the first Mongolian cosmonaut Jugderdemidiin Gurragchaa's journey.
Visitors need to climb three hundred steps from the parking area or six hundred twelve steps from the base to reach the monument.
At the hill's base stands a T-34 tank monument, funded by public donations, marking the Mongolia People's Tank Brigade's path from Moscow to Berlin.
