The Square of Glory

On the high bank of the Amur is the youngest square of the city - the Square of Glory, opened on the 30th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. It is located in the central part of the city, on a high hill, approaching the wide Cupid. Adjacent to it is one of the main streets of the city - Lenin Street. In the center of the square rises a 30-meter obelisk of three pylons. On them are the names of Khabarovsk - Heroes of socialist labor and gentlemen of the Order of Glory. In the upper part of the obelisk is a metal plate, on which you can see a banner flying, topped with a five-pointed star (symbol of military feat) and a sickle with a hammer (symbol of labor feat). Below is a laurel branch. By the 40th anniversary of the Great Victory, the central building of the memorial complex was built - the Memorial Wall, covering a podium in a semicircle, in the center of which the Eternal Flame was lit. Over time, pylons appeared here, where the names of 32,662 inhabitants of the region who did not return from the war are carved.   Source: http: //www.khabarovskadm.ru/tourism/dostoprimechatelnosti/proshchadi/index.php?
