Shtyki Memorial, War memorial complex in Zelenograd, Russia.
The memorial features three monumental bayonets rising 42 meters above a burial mound that contains remains of soldiers who defended Moscow.
The complex opened in 1974 to honor the defenders of Moscow, with the first burials taking place during the winter of 1941-1942.
The memorial serves as a central element on the coat of arms and flag of Zelenograd, representing the city's connection to military history.
Located at kilometer 40 of the Leningrad Highway, the site includes a bronze bowl with oak leaf ornaments and commemorative inscriptions.
In 1966, remains of an unknown soldier were transferred from this memorial to the Kremlin wall, establishing the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
