Stele “City of Military Glory”, Military memorial column in Pervomaisk district, Rostov-on-Don, Russia.
The granite and bronze monument features a round column measuring 6.5 meters in height with the Russian emblem at its summit.
Following a 2007 initiative by veterans and a mayoral petition, President Putin granted Rostov-on-Don the title City of Military Glory in 2008.
Four square pillars contain bronze bas-reliefs depicting military victories and historical events from the city's defense during World War II.
The monument stands in the Square of Military Glory near the airport, displaying the city coat of arms and presidential decree text.
Architects Y. Dvornikov and A. Musienko collaborated with sculptors Sergei Oleshnya, G. Myasnikov, and A. Dementiev to create this memorial.
