Description:
The Defenders’ Memorial was erected in 1980 on a mass grave of Soviet soldiers who fell in 1941 during one of the decisive battles of World War II. Granite plaques bear the names of the fallen, while the surrounding trees and flowerbeds create an atmosphere of reflection and honor. The monument commemorates the courage of local residents—over 20,000 joined the military effort, nearly half of whom never returned. The memorial is well maintained and serves as a focal point for remembrance and civic ceremonies. Its understated design enhances its emotional resonance.
Стела в память о погибших воинах, освободивших Истру от фашистов в 1941 году.
