Victory monument, Veliky Novgorod, War memorial in Veliky Novgorod, Russia
A bronze sculpture of a horse with a Soviet warrior stands 8 meters tall on a granite platform, with a 23.5-meter brick tower displaying bas-reliefs.
The monument was constructed on January 20, 1974, marking three decades since Novgorod's liberation from Nazi forces during World War II.
The monument features a rearing horse trampling a swastika, representing the Soviet triumph over Nazi Germany through symbolic sculptural elements.
The memorial complex includes informational plaques about regional history, and visitors can access the site through nearby public transportation connections.
The combined weight of the bronze horse and rider sculpture reaches 27 tons, making it a substantial metallurgical achievement of Soviet memorial art.
