Monument to General Karbyshev, Bronze memorial sculpture in Khoroshyovo-Mnyovniki District, Moscow, Russia

The Monument to General Karbyshev is a bronze sculpture unveiled on 7 May 1980, created by sculptor Vladimir Tsigal and architect A. M. Polovnikov. It consists of eight-metre forms rising upward like ice blocks, with a cube bearing the general's portrait fixed on top. The monument stands at the intersection of General Karbyshev Boulevard and Marshal Zhukov Avenue in northwestern Moscow.

The Soviet officer to whom the monument is dedicated was captured in 1941 and refused to cooperate with German occupying forces. He died in 1945 in a concentration camp in Austria.

The monument bears the name of a Soviet military officer and marks a location where Muscovites gather on commemorative occasions. This site has become a place where people come to remember acts of resistance.

The monument sits at a publicly accessible street intersection and can be visited year-round. The location is regularly used for ceremonies and commemorative gatherings.

The eight-metre bronze forms are meant to read as blocks of ice, recalling that Karbyshev was doused with water in freezing weather at Mauthausen on the night of 18 February 1945 and died alongside roughly 500 other prisoners. The sculptor was Vladimir Tsigal, the architect A. M. Polovnikov, and the memorial opened on 7 May 1980.
