Мемориал воинской Славы героев Великой Отечественной войны, War memorial in Komsomolsky Park, Pyatigorsk, Russia
The War Memorial for Heroes of the Great Patriotic War stands in Komsomolsky Park with ten vertical granite slabs arranged in a circle, bearing the names of Soviet soldiers and displaying five authentic tank gun barrels. The central hall features a circular panorama depicting a city defense episode from a literary work.
The complex opened on 10 May 1985 to mark the 40th anniversary of the end of World War II, funded through public donations from residents. After 2020, the site underwent significant renovation to improve its structural systems and long-term preservation.
The memorial displays the names of 24 Soviet Heroes and 6 recipients of the Order of Soldier's Glory from Pyatigorsk in bronze inscriptions. These names keep the personal stories of the war present for visitors walking through the space.
The memorial is located within Komsomolsky Park and is easily accessible from the city center. Visitors should allow time to walk around the circular arrangement of granite slabs and view the panorama in the central hall at a comfortable pace.
The central panorama depicts a scene from the literary work 'Ballad of Fifteen,' which describes a local defense episode that took place in the city during the war. This literary connection often escapes the notice of first-time visitors.
