Musa Jalil, Bronze memorial statue in central Qazan, Russia
The monument features a 7.9-meter bronze figure of Musa Jalil breaking through barbed wire, symbolizing resistance against Nazi imprisonment.
The memorial, unveiled in 1966, honors Tatar poet Musa Jalil, who organized resistance among prisoners during World War II until his execution in 1944.
The granite wall displays quotes from Jalil's poems in Russian and Tatar languages, alongside reliefs depicting swallows and portraits of resistance members.
The monument stands on May 1st Square, near the City Hall and National Museum of Tatarstan, with granite benches providing seating for visitors.
The memorial includes a 1994 addition of bas-reliefs showcasing ten members of the Tatar underground resistance who were executed at Plötzensee Prison.
