Stele “City of Military Glory”, Military memorial column in Pervomaisk district, Rostov-on-Don, Russia.

The Stele City of Military Glory is a memorial in the Pervomaisk district of Rostov-on-Don, unveiled on 6 May 2010 on the square in front of the airport. Its centre is a round column of red granite 6.5 metres high, crowned with a bronze emblem of Russia. The column stands on a square pedestal bearing the coat of arms of Rostov-on-Don on one side and the text of the presidential decree granting the title on the other. Four square pylons with bas-reliefs on the city's military history surround it.

In early 2007, veterans' organizations proposed that Rostov-on-Don receive the title City of Military Glory; mayor Mikhail Chernyshev backed the idea and the city duma petitioned the president. The title was conferred by presidential decree No. 556 of 5 May 2008, and the stele was unveiled on 6 May 2010, before the 65th anniversary of the victory. The city allocated 19 million rubles for its construction.

The four square pillars carry bronze reliefs showing scenes from the city's defense in World War II. Soldiers and civilians appear side by side, reflecting how the fighting involved the whole population.

The monument stands in an open square near the airport, making it easy to walk around and view from all sides. The inscriptions at the base, including the text of the presidential decree, are easy to read.

The site was chosen despite criticism that no fighting took place there; planners argued the airport lay in the direction of the main strike of the front's North-Eastern grouping and that the M4 Don highway passes nearby. The city duma allocated 19 million rubles for the stele, unveiled on 6 May 2010 before the 65th anniversary of the Victory.
