Kurtatinski Askerleri Anıtı

Kurtatinski Askerleri Anıtı, Military memorial in Kurtat Gorge, North Ossetia-Alania, Russia.

The Monument to the Kurtatin Warriors stands beside the road near the village of Verkhniy Fiagdon in the Kurtat Gorge of North Ossetia-Alania. It consists of a sculpture of a horse mourning its rider fallen in battle, created by the Ossetian sculptor Daurbek Tsoraev.

The memorial was unveiled on 9 May 1971 in the Kurtat Gorge near Verkhniy Fiagdon, in what was then the North Ossetian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. It commemorates natives of the gorge who died for their homeland in the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945. The Ossetian sculptor Daurbek Tsoraev designed it.

The monument's central figure is a horse grieving over its fallen rider; the sources call it the "faithful horse" and say it stands for all of Ossetia's mourning for its sons lost in the war. The sculptor was the Ossetian artist Daurbek Tsoraev, and the memorial was unveiled on 9 May 1971, during the North Ossetian ASSR period.

The memorial sits near the road by Upper Fiagdon village, making it straightforward to visit while exploring the gorge. The mountain setting means weather can shift quickly, so sturdy shoes and layers are helpful for a comfortable visit.

The artist Daurbek Tsoraev chose to express grief through the eyes of a horse rather than a human figure, creating a powerful and immediately recognizable image from a distance. This approach makes the memorial stand out among typical war monuments.
