The memorial museum complex in honor of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War was established in Krasnoyarsk in 1975. It annually hosts the main town celebrations on the Victory Day. The Victory Memorial Historical Museum is maintained in a single, at the same time modest and solemn style. “The Union of the Front and Rear" Monument and “the Liberator Soldier” Monuments are around the eternal fire. The townspeople affectionately called the liberator soldier Alesha.
Military equipment is assembled on Victory Square and there are 22 tombstones, a mournful honors board bearing the names of all Krasnoyarsk citizen-defenders of their homeland from the occupiers. There is also a memory room with a sad panorama called "Grieving Mother" and the photo chronicle of the Great War, as well as monuments to participants of modern wars and conflicts. The famous Krasnoyarsk Gun on the Karaulnaya Mountain is a peculiar branch of the memorial complex. Every day at noon, it fires a volley, reminding the townspeople of the fragility of peace and the historical memory of generations.
