Monument to Soviet Soldiers at the Olshansky War Grave

A monument to Soviet soldiers is installed at the Olshansky military burial in Prague in the Žižkov area. Near the monument to the soldiers who fell during the liberation of Prague from the German occupiers, there are identical tombstones in the form of a stone pillar with a five-pointed star. A total of 426 people are buried here. Architect Karel Benes and sculptor Jaroslav Brugi worked on the project of the monument. The monument is a tall gray slab, which has a bronze soldier with a rifle in his hands. Above the plate stands a five-pointed star with Soviet symbols: hammer and sickle. The monument is accompanied by a memorial plaque.
