Monument to the 1st Cavalry Army, Military monument in Soviets Square, Rostov-on-Don, Russia.

The Monument to the 1st Cavalry Army is a sculpture in Soviets Square, in the center of Rostov-on-Don, showing three soldiers mid-combat: a cavalryman raising a saber, a Red Army soldier, and a sailor throwing a grenade. The three figures are grouped tightly together, giving the whole composition a strong sense of forward motion.

The monument was made in Yevgeny Vuchetich's workshop and unveiled on 30 April 1972 in front of the regional executive committee building. It was first intended for Volgograd as a tribute to the Bolshevik victory at Tsaritsyn, but that plan was dropped and Vuchetich proposed placing it in Rostov-on-Don to mark the city's liberation from the White Guards in 1920.

The three figures represent a cavalryman, an infantry soldier, and a sailor, each from a different branch of the military. Standing close together in fighting poses, the group shows how the monument was meant to honor joint effort across different forces.

The sculpture stands in Soviets Square in the city center and can be visited at any time without any restrictions. The square sits near other points of interest and shops, making it a natural stop during a walk through the downtown area.

The monument was originally designed for Volgograd to mark the Battle of Tsaritsyn, but it was eventually placed in Rostov-on-Don instead. This means the city received a work that was never intended for it in the first place.
