Every year, on May 9, a holiday is celebrated - Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War against the Nazi invaders.
We owe our freedom to the wars, to the heroes who shed their blood, and to all our people who stood up to defend their Fatherland.
Years go by, but we have no right to forget our heritage. Importance to preserve for many years historical events and their heroes have monuments.
Monument Motherland is calling.
For example, an outstanding monument dedicated to the struggle of our people against fascism - "Motherland - Mother Calls" (Volgograd, Mamaev Kurgan).
On the pedestal is a statue of a woman. In her hand is a sword. It is directed upward and forward. Turning back, with the other hand she calls for her sons to follow her.
Despite the large size of the statue (the figure is 52 meters, the length of the sword is 33 meters), there is a sense of swiftness and ease in movement. The image is convincing.
The amazing story of the creation of the Alyosha monument in the Bulgarian city of Plovdiv.
The monument is dedicated to Soviet soldiers - liberators.
Its prototype was a Russian soldier, Siberian Alexei Ivanovich Skurlatov.
In August 1941 he was drafted into the army. He was 19 years old. First
He served in artillery reconnaissance, then, due to a wound, he became a signalman.
In the autumn of 1944, when Soviet troops entered Bulgaria, he laid a connection from Sofia to Plovdiv.
The Bulgarian people welcomed the Soviet soldiers cordially.
Aleksey made friends with Sh.Vitanov, a member of the Bulgarian resistance, and gave him his photo, and he gave his photo to the local sculptor V. Rodoslavov. The photograph was used when working on the monument (1954-1957).
The monument is erected on Bunardzhik hill in Plovdiv "The Hill of the Liberators".
On a 6-meter pedestal stands an 11.5-meter figure of a soldier, you feel strength, calmness and inner purity. No bravado.
Bulgarians love "Alyosha" and try to protect against attempts to demolish the monument by some politicians who like to remake history.
They are irritated by historical truth. Indeed, on the pedestal there are bas-reliefs: “The Soviet army beats the enemy”, and “The people meet the Soviet wars”.
But the story goes on.
In 1966, the poet Vanshenkin and the composer Kolmanovsky wrote their famous song Alyosha, and it contains the words: “Alyosha is standing over the mountain - a Russian soldier in Bulgaria.”
A few years later, by chance, this song was heard in Altai, where Alexei Ivanovich lived and worked after the war. He remembered that he was there too.”
It turns out that the soldier has been wanted all over the country for a long time.
After a thorough check, it was officially confirmed that he was the prototype of Alyosha.
Aleksey Ivanovich lived for 91 years, both fought and worked, with full dedication of strength.
Recently, a new patriotic movement has arisen - the Immortal Regiment.
On Victory Day, demonstrators carry with them portraits of their relatives who took part in the Great Patriotic War, both at the front and in the rear.
In conclusion - the poem "The Immortal Regiment".
Immortal Regiment
Dedicated to the participants of the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945).
For a long time those battles rumbled,
The soldiers fell
For the motherland, freedom,
Otherwise they could not.
Many of them failed
Even at your wedding to take a walk,
And destined in mortal battles
at the cost of life
Defend your native land.
Motherland will never forget you.
For all time "Immortal Regiment"
It will be a living monument to you!
And every year, in the spring,
When the victorious May comes
Together with us across the country
"Immortal Regiment" will pass...
May 2017. Rybalkina M.S.

It took 5.5 thousand tons of concrete and 2.4 thousand tons of metal structures to make the monument. Inside the "Motherland" is absolutely hollow, it consists of separate chambers, in which metal cables are stretched, supporting the frame of the monument. The height of the grandiose monument is 85 meters, it is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest sculpture-statue in the world at the time of the construction of the monument.

Doing
This year we are celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Victory. Our people really won the most brutal war of the 20th century, saved our country, saved Europe from fascism and gave us all a future.
Recently, we often hear how Victory memorials are being dismantled in many cities and countries. In our project, we wanted to find, learn more about the history of monuments, to whom and for what feats they were erected.
Our duty is to honor the feat of every defender of our country, everyone who fought on the battlefield, in the rear brought the great Victory Day closer. The only thing our generation can do is take care of the monuments. At least three times a year (June 22, February 23, May 9) bring flowers to the foot of the monuments. And also remember the feat of our people and pass it on to their descendants.
The purpose of the work: to collect information about the monuments
Tasks:
Find out if monuments to war heroes are necessary.
Find out to whom and where the monuments were erected.
Hypothesis -
we assume that in our country there are monuments dedicated to the war of 1941-1945 in almost every city, even in villages and villages. The task of our generation is to know the feat of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers, to remember and be proud of them.
Methods:
Working with books and searching for information on the Internet;
Fiery forties. The harsh years of the Great Patriotic War will never be erased in the memory of the people. A bright page in the history of the war was written by the working people of the hero city of Moscow. Moscow was for them the personification of the will to win, the personification of heroism, resilience and courage. In bronze, granite and marble obelisks, sculptures, memorial plaques, and the names of streets and squares, Moscow immortalized the memory of glorious warriors.
- Memorial "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier"
In December 1966, when the 25th anniversary of the defeat of fascist troops near Moscow, near the ancient Kremlin wall, in the Alexander Garden, the remains of the Unknown Soldier, who died a heroic death while defending the Soviet capital, were buried. Before that, the ashes of the hero rested on the 40th kilometer from Moscow along the Leningrad highway - at the turn, where in the fall of 1941. there were fierce battles. By accepting the remains of the hero into its sacred land, Moscow thereby perpetuated the memory of all those who gave their lives for the freedom of the Fatherland.
The monument is a monumental architectural ensemble (authors - architects D. Burdin, V. Klimov, and Yu. Rabaev). Above the burial place of the Unknown Soldier, in the center is a large area. Above it rises a tombstone with five steps made of red granite. Exciting words are inscribed on the slab: "Your name is not known, your feat is immortal." A bronze lamp in the form of a five-pointed star is mounted at the base of the platform. In its center burns the fire of Eternal glory.
To the left of the grave there is a granite pylon with an inscription: “1941 to those who fell for the Motherland 1945”. To the right is a row of memorial blocks. Under their slabs are capsules with the sacred land of hero cities.
Here is land from the Piskarevsky cemetery, where the defenders of Leningrad, who defended the city during the blockade, are buried; from the mass graves of Kyiv and Mamayev Kurgan, where the Great Battle of the Volga was fought. Here is land from the Malakhov Kurgan, from the “Glory Belt” of Odessa, and land taken at the gates of the Brest Fortress. The other three memorial blocks perpetuated the memory of Minsk, Kerch, and Novorossiysk. The tenth memorial block is dedicated to the hero city of Tula. This entire memorial row is made of dark red porphyry. The tombstone of the soldier forever covered the battle red banner, cast from ageless copper. A soldier's helmet and a laurel branch, a symbol of popular honor to the hero, are made of the same metal. At the Eternal Flame, blazing in the very center of Moscow, the words shine: Leningrad, Kyiv, Minsk, Volgograd, Sevastopol, Odessa, Kerch, Novorossiysk, Tula, Brest Fortress. Behind each of these names is boundless devotion to the Motherland, boundless fortitude and heroism.
2. In memory of Leningrad children who died at the Lychkovo station
In the small village of Lychkovo, Novgorod region, there is an unmarked mass grave from the time of the Great Patriotic War. One of many in Russia. One of the most tragic and sad. Because it's a children's grave...
In July 1941, at the very beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the evacuation of the civilian population began from Leningrad. First of all, the children went to the rear. It was impossible then to foresee the course of hostilities ... Children were taken out of Leningrad in order to be saved, away from death and suffering. But as it turned out, they were being taken straight towards the war. At the Lychkovo station, fascist planes bombed a train of 12 wagons. In the summer of 1941, hundreds of innocent children died.
The number of dead little Leningraders is still not known. Fate smiled only a few. The rest after the bombing, local residents collected fragments. Since then, a grave has appeared in the civil cemetery in Lychkovo. A grave in which the ashes of innocent children are buried.
The sculpture consists of several parts. On a granite slab there is a flame of an explosion cast in bronze that threw a child into the air. At the foot of the slab are the toys he dropped. The author of the monument, for the construction of which the Lychkov House of Veterans from all over Russia received more than half a million rubles, was the Moscow sculptor, People's Artist of Russia Alexander Burganov. The height of the sculptural composition is about three meters.
It was a terrible tragedy. But the post-war unconsciousness is even more terrible: Lychkov's events were simply forgotten. Only a modest mass grave with the inscription "Leningrad children" reminded of them. The grave was cared for by local women from among the witnesses of the bloody bombardment for almost 60 years.
In 2003, a small monument was erected at the burial site - a bronze sculpture, which always has fresh flowers.
May 4, 2005, on the eve of the celebration of the 60th anniversary Great Victory In the village of Lychkovo, a solemn opening ceremony of the memorial "To the Children Who Died in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945" was held.
The monument was erected on the forecourt, not far from the site of the tragedy. Trains will pass by the monument every day, and children's voices will always be heard through the noise of the wheels. The memory of the terrible tragedy that claimed the lives of children will always be alive here.
The poet A. Molchanov wrote a poem "In memory of the Leningrad children who died at the Lychkovo station", there are these words:
Is it possible to forget
Like children in parts
Collected
So that in a mass grave,
Like fallen soldiers
Bury?..
3. Monument to children - a victim of concentration camps.
A monument to children who died in Nazi concentration camps was erected near the Makhovaya Tower in the city of Smolensk. The author is Alexander Parfenov. A monument in the shape of a fluffy dandelion made up of figures of children, and the names of concentration camps are written on the leaves of the flower: Auschwitz, Dachau, Buchenwald.
4. "Flower of Life"
In 1968, the diary of Tanya Savicheva was immortalized in stone, being integral part memorial complex "Flower of Life" Poklonnaya Hill, dedicated to all the children who died in the blockade ring.
5. In memory of tens of thousands of Soviet prisoners of war
In the city of Vyazma, on the eve of the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow, a memorial was opened in memory of tens of thousands of dead participants in the defense of Moscow. It is installed on the site of mass graves of the victims of the German transit camp "Dulag-184". In March of this year, the Russian Military Historical Society took control of the situation with ownerless burials on the territory of the former Dulag-184 camp, responding to an appeal public organization"Vyazemsky Memorial". The organization, which is engaged in the restoration of the memory of the victims of the German transit camp, includes relatives of the prisoners of the camp, search engines, veterans of the Great Patriotic War, historians, public figures, volunteers.
45 burial ditches 100 meters long and four wide with the remains of prisoners of war remained after the Nazi occupation of Vyazma (October 1941-March 12, 1943) at the intersection of Repin and Kronstadtskaya streets. Here, in the building of the current Vyazemsky meat-packing plant - then it was an unfinished aircraft plant without a roof, windows and doors, in October 1941 the invaders organized the Dulag-184 transit camp. In the first months of the war, it turned out to be encircled militiamen who survived in the "meat grinder" of the Vyazemsky cauldron. Many were brought from the battlefield in serious condition. Only in the first winter of 1941-1942, up to 70 thousand prisoners died. The dead were dumped into huge ditches. Seventy years later, the mass grave site has turned into a wasteland. At the request of local residents, in the 90s of the last century, a modest stele with a bell was erected in the wasteland in memory of the tragedy that happened here. There were five "death factories" on the territory of Vyazma.
The author of the project of the Vyazemsky monument in memory of the victims of the German transit camp is Salavat Shcherbakov, People's Artist of Russia, one of the leading sculptors of our country. The memorial consists of three concrete steles 3-4 meters high. On the central stele, in bronze relief, soldiers and civilians who died here are represented. Behind them are spruces and a camp tower. The composition is framed by photographs of people taken from authentic photographs of the dead, given to the sculptor by relatives and search engines. 50 photographic images are embedded in the surface of the monument.
The casting for the monument was made in the city of Zhukovsky, Moscow Region, the granite slab was ordered in St. Petersburg, and the concrete foundations were ordered in Smolensk. The foundation was made in Vyazma, the bronze relief - in Moscow. The total weight of all structural elements is about 20 tons.
Former prisoner Sofia Anvaer recalled: “Through the barbed wire, the inhabitants of the city saw our suffering and tried to help. Wrapped in rags, women and children approached the wire and threw over packages with some food. The prisoners rushed to them, machine guns pounded on the tower. People fell with outstretched hands for food. Women also fell on the other side of the fence. It was impossible for us to help. Thirst joined the pangs of hunger and cold. It was no longer possible to go into the basement, where there was water - the entrance to it was blocked by a mountain of corpses. People drank, filtering through a rag, liquid mud from the yard, mixed with thousands of boots.
6. "People of the world stand up for a minute"
The main components of the complex "People of the world stand up for a minute" installed in Moscow, in memory of prisoners of Nazi death camps during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, are three black granite slabs.
The first plate symbolizes juvenile prisoners of concentration camps who were tortured there during the war years.
The second plate is dedicated to all prisoners - men and women.
The third commemorative plate symbolizes prisoners - Soviet military personnel and is dedicated to the memory of those killed in the death camps of Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen, Dachau, Ravensbrück and Auschwitz.

10. Monument to a grieving mother
In Zadonsk there is also a wonderful monument to Mother - Maria Matveevna Frolova, the mother of 12 children, who lost everyone at the front.
11. Praskovya Eremeevna Volodichkina and her dead sons.
“Sometimes it seems to me that the soldiers,
From the bloody fields that did not come,
Not in our land once perished,
And they turned into white cranes .... "
Cranes of memory can be found more and more often on the ground. They set off for eternal flight from various places in our Motherland.
In the Samara region, the maternal prowess of the remarkable Russian woman Praskovya Eremeevna Volodichkina and the feat of arms of her dead sons are immortalized. When the war began, all nine Volodichkin brothers left one by one to defend their Fatherland. Already in June-July 1941, they fought in different sectors of the front. Praskovya Eremeevna had to see them off alone, since the head of the family, Pavel Vasilyevich, had died by that time. But with the youngest, Nikolai, the mother did not even say goodbye. He only handed over a short note, folded into a tube: “Mom, dear mother. Don't grieve, don't grieve. Do not worry. We're going to the front. We will defeat the Nazis and we will all return to you. Wait. Your Kolka.
But Praskovya Yeremeevna never waited for her sons. No one. Five of them - Nikolai, Andrei, Fedor, Mikhail, Alexander - died in 1941-1943. After the fifth funeral, the mother's heart failed. The sixth - to Vasily, who died in January 1945, came to an empty house, in which all the wounded in the summer of 45 returned Peter, Ivan and Konstantin. But they, one by one, began to die from numerous wounds received at the front.
And on May 7, 1995, on a steep cliff not far from the house, located on the street with the symbolic name Krasnoarmeyskaya, a majestic memorial made of granite and bronze arose. Nine bronze cranes rush into the sky from an 11-meter stele. And in front of her stands a sculpture of Praskovya Eremeevna. Ahead is a 7-ton granite monument with the names of all the sons and their mother and the text: "Grateful Russia to the Volodichkin family."
12. Patriot mother Anastasia Kupriyanova and her dead sons
In 1975, a monument to the patriotic mother Anastasia Kupriyanova and her dead sons was solemnly opened in Zhodino. The composition of the monument includes two parts: on one pedestal there is a figure of a mother escorting her children to the front, a little ahead - five sons leaving for battle. The younger one, falling behind and turning around, as if he wants to say: “Wait for us with victory, mother!”
