Monument to Brotherhood in Arms, War memorial in Praga district, Warsaw, Poland

The monument displayed three bronze statues of Soviet soldiers in combat positions and four figures at corners representing Polish and Soviet soldiers.

Inaugurated in November 1945 as the first post-war monument in Warsaw, it commemorated Polish and Soviet soldiers who fought against Nazi Germany.

Warsaw residents gave the monument the nickname 'Four Sleepers' due to the static posture of the four soldiers positioned at each corner.

The monument remained at Vilnius Square until 2011, when construction of the Dworzec Wilenski metro station required its removal.

The original figures were crafted from plaster and painted to resemble bronze before being replaced with actual bronze castings in 1947.
