Impressive. Especially when you consider how many young people died in this senseless war. The Soviet War Memorial in Dresden is a memorial built in 1945 to the soldiers of the Red Army who died in World War II. Today, after implementation, it is located in Dresden's Albertstadt, very close to the Military History Museum. It is a listed building. The monument was created immediately after the end of the war in 1945 by the German sculptor Otto Rost as a memorial to the Soviet fallen soldiers of the 5th Guards Army and was inaugurated on November 25, 1945. It was the first monument erected on German soil for Soviet soldiers after World War II. The Soviet military administration was the client and it was implemented by the Dresden art foundry Pirner & Franz. The first location of the monument was at Albertplatz (1945–1946 Red Army Square, 1946–1990 Unity Square) in the Dresdner Neustadt district. The old fountain basin of the Stormy Waves fountain by the sculptor Robert Diez, which was damaged in the air raid, was used as the foundation. Until 1989, regular public commemorative events with wreath-layings took place directly in front of this monument on the holidays. In 1990, the city administration decided to rebuild the former fountain on Albertplatz based on the historical model. For this purpose, the Soviet memorial was moved to another location. It was converted into Olbrichtplatz. The monument found its new place there after reconstruction in April 1994. An inscription says: Eternal glory to the Red Army fighters who fell in battles against the German fascist conquerors for the freedom and independence of the Soviet homeland.

Memorial for the Soviet fallen soldiers of the 5th Guards Army by Otto Rost, stood from November 1945 to 1994 on Unity Square, before 1945 and after 1994 on AlbertPlatz, has been restored since April 1994 on OlbrichtPlatz in front of the Army Museum, valuable Dresden historical evidence, first monument of the Red Army on German soil.

A modest monument to the Red Army... clean and neat... located next to the military museum in Dresden and therefore especially relevant... Thanks to the people of Germany and the government for not forgetting our monuments... monuments to those who died during a terrible war...

There he stands on top of an ugly pedestal, the deformed plastic toy soldier... and reminds us of the bad years of the Second World War and the bad decades afterwards. Bidhauerically an insult to the eye.

This is a monument that commemorates the liberation from National Socialist rule and the victims of the Red Army in World War II. It is doubtful whether it is a place for excursions or a children's playground with picnic qualities.

A wonderful monument to the wars of the Soviet army. It is located in a beautiful park where you can relax and take a walk.

I have no feelings for armies, but this is a respectable place - quiet and peaceful.
