Журавли, War memorial on Sokolovaya Mountain, Saratov, Russia
The monument features three 40-meter concrete pylons crowned with twelve white metal cranes in flight formation against the sky background.
The memorial opened on May 9, 1982, commemorating local citizens who lost their lives during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.
The design draws inspiration from Rasul Gamzatov's poetry about cranes representing fallen soldiers returning home as white birds in the sky.
Visitors can reach the observation deck at the top of the 100-meter artificial hill by climbing stairs marked with names of World War II battles.
The monument stands at 160 meters above sea level, making it visible from numerous points across Saratov, the Volga River, and the bridge.
