Chervona Hirka Memorial, Memorial monument in Yevpatoriia, Ukraine.

The Chervona Hirka Memorial occupies the site of a mass shooting ground at the crossing of Pobedy Avenue and 9 Maya Street in Yevpatoriia. Its centre is a mass grave of 1941–1944 victims, ringed by red-tiled paths laid out as a wreath. Around it stand a 1945 soldier monument by sculptor Galochkin and architect Dashevsky, the bronze Mourning Mother of 1985, a 1987 monument to eight naval landing troops, and an eternal flame lit in 2009.

The site was first marked in 1954, when a kneeling soldier sculpture by sculptor Galochkin and architect Dashevsky was placed over the mass grave for the tenth anniversary of Yevpatoriia's liberation. The grave was registered as a historical monument in 1969. In 1982 the remains of eight naval landing troops, killed on 5 January 1942 and found during earthworks in Karaev Park, were reburied here; their monument followed on 9 May 1987. The bronze Mourning Mother was added in 1985, and the memorial received national monument status in 2001.

The name "Red Hill" refers to the site itself, where a one-kilometre anti-tank trench served as the mass grave. Since 2009 the memorial has been laid out as a wreath, with the burial mound at its centre and red-tinted paving along the paths. A 142-metre memorial slab stands beside the bronze Mourning Mother, whose inscription gives the figure of about six thousand shot residents.

The complex lies at the junction of Pobedy Avenue and 9 Maya Street in the 7th microdistrict, with the brotherly grave at its centre and the 142-metre memorial slab beside the Mourning Mother. The park and its ceremony square opened in 2009, when the paths were paved in reddish tiles and lighting was added. The Eternal Flame was lit on 15 May 2009 from the flame at Sapun Mountain in Sevastopol.

The memorial's layout forms a wreath, with the mass grave at its centre; the 2009 reconstruction added a 142-metre memorial slab and red-tinted paving. The eternal flame was lit on 15 May 2009 from the flame at Sapun Ridge in Sevastopol. At the 2009 reopening, 86-year-old Oleksii Korniienko, one of the last surviving members of the 1942 Yevpatoriia landing, was present.
