Monument to Glory

The Monument to Glory in Voronezh is situated in Ratno Park and serves as a memorial on the site of a mass grave for soldiers who died in the battle for the city during World War II (1942-1943). The memorial complex spans approximately 100 meters. At its center stands a sculpture by Fyodor Sushkov surrounded by a low wall bearing the names of fallen soldiers. In May 2009, remains of tank general Alexander Lisyukov were reburied here. The memorial was unveiled on January 24, 1967 under the guidance of architect Aleksandr Buzov.
