Comradeship-in-Arms Monument, Military monument in Ryazan, Russia
The Comradeship-in-Arms Monument stands in General V.F. Margelov Square and commemorates cooperation between Soviet and Polish military forces. The work features bronze sculptures set on a stone base and includes informational plaques.
