About the project (provided by the applicant)
As the name implies, the memorial is dedicated to peaceful citizens of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics who were murdered by the German fascists. The authors wanted to eternize their memory.
The centerpiece of the memorial is a 44-meters high stela with a 24-meters tall figure of a mother with kids on top. Two 11-meters high concentric pylons represent whirlwinds of war. 150 bass-relieves along the perimeter depict people doomed to death. Eternal fire burns on the road that leads to the stela.
