Victory Square as a memory of the war

Other places

Victory Square appeared in Vladimir in 1975 to the 30th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Here a memorial was erected to commemorate the victims of the war and the Eternal Flame, lit from the Moscow Eternal Flame. In 1985 the memorial was supplemented by sculptures of a woman mother, warrior and a worker of the rear and a granite stele with the names of the Vladimir army units that participated in the war.

In 2010 on the eve of the 65th anniversary of victory in Great Patriotic War, the ensemble of the Victory Square was again supplemented by the bronze bas-reliefs of Heroes of the Soviet Union, natives of Vladimir. And since 2014 the Memory Book has been working on the square: on the electronic board over the take of the chronicle of the war one can see the list of names of those Vladimir residents who were drafted to the front line and perished. The St. Kazan Church was rebuilt on the square behind the memorial in 2008. The former Kazan church of the XVIII century, known as a place of the wedding of the writer and philosopher Alexander Herzen, was demolished in 1970.
