The Eternal Glory park is situated at the crossing of January
revolt Street, Suvoroff Street and Dniper spusk. In 1957 the
obelisk - the Eternal Glory Monument on the Grave of Unknown
Soldier is erected (the architects A. M. Miletsky, V. V. Baklanoff
and L. V. Novikoff). The height of the obelisk is 7 meters.
The Grave of Unknown Soldier is situated at the bottom of the
obelisk. The Eternal Fire lights under the grave. The wide alley
tends to the monument. 34 tombs of the soldiers died in the
battles for their Motherland are set on the both sides of this
alley. There are tombs of the heroes of the battle for Kiev
among the tombs. The alley tends to the famous Vladimirskaya
Square of the 18th century. The square has been named Glory
Square since 1965. |
