Soldiers

This public sculpture in Victory Park captures a poignant moment between two soldiers at the end of World War II. Completed in the mid-1990s, Victory Park serves as a final flourish for the Soviet tradition of monumental triumphal art. Situated on and around Poklonnaya Gora - the hill where Napoleon's forces encircled Moscow in 1812 but were denied the keys to the city - the park is nestled within an area rich in Russian military heritage.
