Monument to the Victims of the Intervention, Memorial monument in Five Corners Square, Murmansk, Russia.
The Monument to the Victims of the Intervention is a multi-tiered concrete structure rising from Five Corners Square in the city, marked with a commemorative plaque. A system of stairs with handrails connects the different levels of the raised platform together.
The memorial was dedicated on November 7, 1927, and honors those who died between 1918 and 1920 during the invasion of foreign forces and the conflict that followed. At that time, Murmansk was a place of intense struggle between rival groups.
The monument displays Constructivist architecture from the 1920s, showing how Murmansk chose to make its past visible through bold concrete forms. The white finish and tiered design stand out in the city landscape and shape how the square feels when you walk through it.
The memorial is located at the intersection of Leningrad Street and Five Corners Square and is easy to reach on foot. The stairs leading up have handrails that make it easier to climb.
Beneath the concrete structure lies a mass grave containing 136 individuals who died during those events. This hidden dimension makes the site a burial ground that visibly honors the cost paid.
