Soviet War Memorial Treptow

The Soviet War Memorial is a military memorial and cemetery in Berlin's Treptower Park, built to a design by Soviet architect Yakov Belopolsky to commemorate 7,000 of the 80,000 Red Army soldiers who fell in the Battle of Berlin in April and May 1945. This memorial can be entered through a large arch surrounded by tall trees and lush green grass, and there is a three-meter-high statue representing “Mother Russia”: a woman grieving for her fallen sons in the war.
