Slavin Memorial Bratislava
The gigantic Slavin memorial is visible from much of the city as it sits on a hill overlooking the city.
It commemorates the city’s liberation by the Red Army in April 1945 and is also a cemetery for 6,845 Soviet soldiers who died during the battles for the city and the surrounding region.
The central obelisk is more than 39 metres high, and is topped by an 11-metre tall statue of a victorious Soviet soldier carrying a flag. Around the base are inscriptions recording the Slovak cities liberated by the Red Army during its advance in 1944 and 1945.
