Memorial to the Victims of the Deportation of 1944, Monument to deportation victims in Grozny, Russia.
The Memorial to the Victims of the Deportation of 1944 is a monument in Grozny that consists of granite steles inscribed with names and details of those affected. The site serves as a gathering space where the community comes together to remember this significant chapter in the region's past.
During World War II in February 1944, Soviet authorities forcibly relocated the population of this region to Central Asia, resulting in significant losses and suffering. The event became a defining moment that shaped the identity and memory of the people for generations to come.
The memorial incorporates traditional Chechen design elements and text inscriptions that emphasize the determination of the deported population.
The memorial is located in the central area of Grozny and is easy to reach on foot during a visit to the city. Commemorative events take place throughout the year, giving visitors different times to experience the site and its significance.
The monument has been relocated multiple times and moved to its current location at Akhmad Kadyrov Place in 2014, where it stands alongside other stone memorials. These relocations reflect how the city itself has evolved and changed its relationship with remembrance over the years.
