Memorial complex «Doblestnym synam Otechestva», Military memorial at Boulevard of Glory, Chelyabinsk, Russia
The memorial consists of two massive granite blocks forming a mountain gorge, crowned by a bronze eagle with a 5-meter wingspan.
The monument, completed in 2004, commemorates soldiers from Chelyabinsk who died in military conflicts in Afghanistan and Chechnya between 1971 and 2012.
The memorial complex includes black granite steles listing the names of fallen soldiers, creating a place for remembrance and reflection.
The monument stands 14 meters tall near the Eternal Flame between Pushkin and Svobody Streets, with surrounding gardens featuring blue spruces and birch trees.
The granite blocks, weighing 180 tons, maintain their position without cement, using the same construction technique as Saint Petersburg's Alexander Column.
