Black Tulip, War memorial in Yekaterinburg, Russia.
The Black Tulip is a war memorial in Yekaterinburg dedicated to soldiers who died in military service. A bronze statue of a soldier sitting with a rifle stands at the center, surrounded by ten metal pillars arranged like the cargo space of a transport plane.
The memorial was completed in 1995 and honors Russian soldiers who died during military operations in Afghanistan. It was later expanded to include those who died in the Chechen conflict.
The name comes from the Soviet transport plane that brought fallen soldiers home, which troops called the Black Tulip. The structure around the statue recreates the aircraft's cargo hold where bodies were carried.
The memorial is located in a public space and accessible at any time of day. The site is easy to reach and offers space for quiet reflection in front of the statue.
The memorial holds hundreds of soldiers' names chronologically arranged on the metal pillars surrounding the statue. Walking around the structure, visitors can read individual names and understand the human cost behind this place.
