Victory Monument, War memorial in Victory Park, Tolyatti, Russia.
The Victory Monument features four tall steel pillars arranged in a circle, with each one standing for one year of World War II. An eternal flame burns at the center of this formation as a tribute to those lost in the war.
The monument was built in 1985 to mark the 40th anniversary of the Soviet victory in World War II. Soil from Poklonnaya Hill in Moscow was incorporated beneath a memorial wreath to connect this site to the nation's war history.
The monument displays carved reliefs showing partisan fighters, battle scenes, home life during war, and victims of fascism, created by sculptor Sandor Zicherman. These images tell different stories of the war and its impact on people.
The site is located in Victory Park and is freely accessible year-round for visits. The best time to experience the memorial's significance is on May 9th, when it becomes the focal point of Victory Day celebrations with gatherings and official ceremonies.
The structure uniquely combines stainless steel and aluminum materials, with each pillar displaying the corresponding war year at its top. This mixed-material approach blends traditional memorial design with modern construction techniques.
