Monument to the Heroes of the Front and Rear, War memorial monument in Leninsky District, Perm, Russia

The Monument to the Heroes of the Front and Rear stands on Perm's city esplanade: three dark metal figures of equal height on a tall reddish-brown stone pedestal. The centre figure holds a vertical sword and a shield at its left side; the left figure raises a hand toward the sword, the right one stands with an arm raised. Narrow steps lead up the front of the stepped base.

The monument was unveiled on 9 May 1985 for the 40th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Its authors were sculptor Vyacheslav Klykov, architect Roman Semerdzhiyev, architect Vladimir Snegirev and engineer Boris Gurvich. It was restored in 2001 and 2003, and from 2005 annual restoration work has been carried out.

The three figures are a worker who forged the shield, a warrior with a sword and the Motherland; all are the same height to show the equal worth of front and rear. The worker faces east and the warrior faces west, toward the enemy's advance. The group was made by sculptor Vyacheslav Klykov with architects R. I. Semerdzhiev and V. I. Snegirev.

The memorial is located in Leninsky District and is open for visitors to explore on foot at any time. Keep in mind that periodic maintenance work may occasionally affect access, so it is helpful to check current conditions before your visit.

This memorial was featured on a commemorative coin released by the Bank of Russia in the Cities of Labor Valor series. This numismatic honor reflects its importance as a symbol in local and national memory culture.
