Oh, you go to what feels like the end of the world - and have to experience again what that miserable Second World War caused here too. This Kirkenes was the second most bombed place of the war. And that was only because they were at each other's throats out at sea over supply routes. Oh, I wish people would actually learn how to think from these monuments...

In the middle of Kirkenes. Certainly of great military importance, otherwise quite simple. No German description.

I appreciate remember history. But to honour the red army with russian flower bouquets in todays world makes me shiver and is not appropriate from my point of view

History is always past. But flower bouquets in Russian colours are definitely redundant these days.

This place gives me shivers. That's wrong that there are russian-colored flowers, there were no russia at the time of wwii

It's a simple monument to the Soviet soldiers who freed the city in 1945 from German occupation.

Very impressive. A must see.

Kirkenes has a very interesting wartime history. It’s importance could increase in the future if the Barents Sea, as a result of climate change and melting sea ice, makes a new shipping route to the east viable.

Mielenkiintoinen kokemus ihan liian lähellä venäjän rajaa.kannatta käydä katsomassa.

Well, it's not that impressive, but it's very centrally located and you can take the detour when you're in Kirkenes.
