Памятник семье Володичкиных, Bronze monument in Alexeyevka, Russia.
The Памятник семье Володичкиных is a memorial in the village of Alexeyevka made up of several connected elements. A tall granite stele rises with nine bronze cranes, and a large statue of a woman completes the composition.
The memorial commemorates nine brothers who fought during World War II, with six killed in battle and three dying from war wounds.
The memorial honors a mother and her nine sons, with their names carved into the stone for all to see. The bronze cranes represent each brother who did not return home from the war.
The memorial stands in a public park area within the village and is open to visitors throughout the year. You can approach it easily when walking through the area without any special requirements or restrictions.
Each of the nine bronze cranes receives individual care as part of the larger artistic composition. The arrangement of the birds draws from traditional Russian expressions of grief and family bonds, creating a deliberate visual statement that few visitors fully notice.
