Памятник Защитникам Отечества, War memorial in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.

The Monument to Defenders of the Fatherland is a vertical structure in Victory Garden with plaques displaying names of those who fell. A flame burns constantly at the top, serving as a lasting reminder of sacrifice.

The memorial was built to honor soldiers who gave their lives protecting the nation during various armed conflicts. It was erected following the Great Patriotic War as a way to ensure these sacrifices would not be forgotten.

The monument serves as a gathering place where residents come together to remember soldiers who defended the land. Visitors often see people laying flowers and pausing in silence to honor those remembered here.

The memorial is accessible year-round and located in the city center, making it easy to find and visit. It is best enjoyed when you have time to pause and reflect, particularly during quieter hours.

The eternal flame at the top is a detail many visitors only notice upon entering the garden. The light becomes especially striking during dusk hours, drawing the attention of everyone passing through.
