Stela Liberators of Rostov-on-Don, War monument in Rostov-on-Don, Russia
The 72-meter-high granite stela on Theater Square features a bronze statue of Nike goddess and the Order of the Patriotic War on opposite sides.
Erected in 1983 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Rostov-on-Don liberation from German occupation during World War II by Soviet military forces.
The memorial complex includes an amphitheater with stepped tribunes, a reflecting pool, and inscriptions listing military units that participated in city liberation.
The monument receives illumination during nighttime, making it visible from multiple points throughout the central district of Rostov-on-Don.
The stela culminates in a 100-ton ship bow-shaped structure, incorporating elements that represent the three fundamental forces: peace, home front, and battlefield.
