Soviet Red Army Martyrs' Park

Soviet Red Army Martyrs' Park

The Soviet Red Army Martyrs' Park is a classic site for red tourism.

The Soviet Red Army Martyrs' Park was initially built in the early 20th century, and before becoming a park, the site was a street park. In the early hours of August 9, 1945, after fierce fighting, the Soviet Red Army liberated Manzhouli. To commemorate the Soviet Red Army soldiers who fell in battle, the People's Government of Manzhouli constructed the Soviet Red Army Martyrs' Cemetery and the Monument to the Red Army Martyrs here in November 1945.

The monument stands 17.18 meters tall and bears an inscription in Russian: "Glory forever belongs to the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the honor and victory of the Soviet Union." On the back of the monument is engraved: "Here lie the martyrs who bravely sacrificed their lives for the honor of the Soviet Union." On both sides of the monument are reliefs depicting the heroic battles of the Soviet Red Army and the names of 56 officers and soldiers, including Major Trobov, at various ranks. Southwest of the martyrs' cemetery stand a two-meter-high tombstone and four groups of martyr graves covered with bronze plaques.

This memorial tower preserves the unforgettable history from over half a century ago. On major holidays, people come to lay wreaths and bouquets, expressing their grief and paying tribute to the martyrs who gave their lives for world peace.
