Description

This Soviet-era World War II memorial features a somber statue of a Red Army soldier standing before a weathered concrete obelisk covered in cracks and flaking paint. The soldier, likely cast in bronze , wears a long military overcoat and cap, with his head bowed and hands resting on a lowered rifle. At the base, a tiled pedestal bears a Russian inscription: "Вечная слава воинам-односельчанам, павшим в боях за свободу и независимость нашей Родины. 1941–1945 гг.", translated in English as "Eternal glory to the fellow villagers who fell in the battles for the freedom and independence of our Motherland. 1941–1945." The monument is framed by a Moldovan flag, wreaths, and low black chains.
