Monument to the heroes of the First World War

Monument to the heroes of the First World War, World War I memorial monument in Lipetsk, Russia.

The Monument to the Heroes of the First World War is a three-sided stele 19.5 metres tall, its upper part bearing a bronze double-headed eagle and, lower on its faces, figures of St George's crosses. A metal pedestal encircles the base, inscribed "Glory to the heroes of the Great War". It stands at the crossroads of Tsiolkovsky and Tereshkova streets.

The monument was created on the initiative of the Russian Military Historical Society and the administration of Lipetsk Oblast, and sculpted by People's Artist of Russia Alexander Rukavishnikov. It was unveiled on 8 August 2014, the centenary of the war's outbreak, at the crossing of Tsiolkovsky and Tereshkova streets. Alexei Lebedev of the Russian Military Historical Society, Deputy Culture Minister Alla Manilova and regional head Oleg Korolev attended the ceremony.

The sculptor was Alexander Rukavishnikov, a People's Artist of Russia, and the project was initiated by the Russian Military Historical Society and the Lipetsk Oblast administration. A metal band around the base of the stele carries the inscription "Glory to the heroes of the Great War", the name by which the 1914–1918 conflict was known in Russia.

The monument stands at the intersection of Tereshkova and Tsiolkovsky streets, accessible through a specially constructed circular road junction. The location is easy to reach on foot and offers good views from multiple angles.

The stele is three-sided, and its height is 19.5 metres. A metal pedestal wraps around its base bearing the inscription "Glory to the heroes of the Great War". The bronze double-headed eagle at the top and the St. George crosses lower on the faces are the details to look for.
