A stele in Memory Square

The stele is located in the center of the Memory Square, in the Leninsky district of Tyumen. It is made in the form of a candle and symbolizes grief for the soldiers who died for our country in 1941-1945.

Stella has a height of 29 meters and is a symbol of the square. On it were carved the names of 227 soldiers - Full Knights of the Order of Glory and Heroes of the Soviet Union.

Near the candle there is a sculptural composition – a mass grave with the remains of soldiers, a monument by sculptor V. M. Belov, depicting the figures of a mother and a young kneeling warrior holding a banner in his hands. Previously, the composition near the stele depicted only a young soldier and was made by architect V. A. Beshkiltsev.

Pylons bearing the names of deceased soldiers were placed on the candle of mourning for three years - from the spring of 2000 to the spring of 2003.
