Monument-stele "City of Military Glory"
Russia, Tver region, the city of Tver, Moscow Square.
Description:
Monument-stele "City of military glory" is located in Tver in the heart of the city. The monument was created in honor of awarding Tver honorary title of the Russian Federation "City of Military Glory". The opening of the monument was made in December 2011, on a significant day for the city. 70 years ago, Kalinin was liberated from Nazi invaders.
The monument is very symbolic. It shows four military milestones in the history of the city, in which the inhabitants of Tver showed courage and heroism. These are the Battle of Bertenev, liberation from the Polish-Lithuanian intervention, participation in the Patriotic War of 1812 and, finally, the Great Patriotic War.
The opening of the monument was prepared for a long time and with all my soul, because this monument and the memory of those who died during all these military battles. Back in 2011, the governor of the region laid a stone for the monument. And the sculptor Evgeny Antonov immediately took up work, trying to express in the monument love and pride for the city.
The stele erected on the memorial has a height of 11 meters, made of granite.
