Red Army Monument in Szczecin, Soviet military monument in Szczecin, Poland
This monument was a 17-meter-tall concrete and stone structure located in the Dabie district of Szczecin. Its prominent size and central placement made it a visible landmark in the neighborhood.
The monument was built in 1962 to honor Soviet soldiers involved in liberating the Dabie bridgehead during March 1945. Following Poland's decommunization legislation, the structure was removed in 2023.
The monument represented Soviet presence in the city and shaped how the Dabie district appeared to residents and visitors. It served as a focal point where different historical memories and perspectives intersected in public space.
The monument was located in the Dabie district and could be reached through various public transportation routes connecting Szczecin to surrounding areas. The site was easily accessible for anyone interested in exploring the city's historical landmarks.
The dismantling in August 2023 was broadcast live on the Institute of National Remembrance's YouTube channel for viewers to watch. This public removal made the process of reshaping urban memory something people could observe in real time.
