Finnish Red Guards Monument in Vyborg, Granite stele monument in Vyborg, Russia.

The Finnish Red Guards Monument is a tall granite stele located in Vyborg that commemorates participants in early 20th century events. The structure stands along Leningradskoye Highway and was completed in 1961 by designer Aleksandr Shver.

White Finnish troops took Vyborg in late April 1918 and shot nearly 600 captured Red Guards and Russian soldiers; the bodies were moved to a former dog cemetery near Ristimäki. A memorial funded partly by postcard sales was banned by the Finnish authorities, and its finished stone was buried in 1940 and lost. The present stele by sculptor Viktor Chebotarev and architect Aleksandr Shver was unveiled on 30 April 1961 before a Finnish delegation.

The granite slab in front of the stele carries an inscription in Russian and Finnish: "Here lie Finnish Red Guards, courageous fighters for the cause of the working people of Finland, shot by Finnish White Guards and German interventionists in April–May 1918. Eternal glory to the heroes!" The rear of the stele reads, in both languages, that the monument was given by the workers of the Soviet Union to the working people of Finland in April 1961.

The monument stands at the 4th kilometre of Leningradskoye Highway, at the south-eastern entrance to Vyborg, 4 km from the centre. A wide staircase climbs the pine-covered slope to the stele. The base of the unbuilt 1920 memorial is preserved beside it, and a bronze statue of a victorious soldier, installed in 1957 at the mass grave of Soviet servicemen, stands nearby.

Beside the stele survives the granite base of a memorial that was never completed: relatives of the executed raised money partly by selling postcards, but Finland's Ministry of the Interior stopped the work, and the finished monument was buried in 1940 and lost.
