Steel Way, War memorial in Imeni Morozova, Russia.
Steel Way is a war memorial near Petrokrepost that commemorates military events from the Soviet era. The site features steel sculptures and informational displays that help visitors understand the historical context of the location.
Construction of the memorial began in 1970 and was completed in 1991, coinciding with the dissolution of the Soviet Union. This timing transformed it into a symbol of remembrance during a period of major political transformation.
The Steel Way monument received federal cultural heritage status recognition, reinforcing its role in preserving Russian military and social narratives.
The site is easily reached by rail via Petrokrepost railway station, from which it is a short walk to the memorial. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as the grounds are accessible year-round and can become slippery in rain or snow.
The memorial displays an unusual blend of industrial aesthetics and traditional commemoration, with steel structures reflecting Soviet engineering traditions. This combination of materials and symbolism makes it one of the lesser-publicized examples of Soviet memorial design.
