This article was written to get acquainted with some of the memorial complexes located on the territory of our country and abroad.
What is the memorial complex?
As a rule, we are talking about parks with certain dividing lines and a clear layout. There are often large parterres and wide alleys. In addition, the monument (memorial complex) is surrounded by numerous green spaces and trees, preferably with a weeping or pyramidal crown.
Memorial complexes are a certain area with monumental architectural structures, such as:
- Pantheons.
- Sculpture groups.
- Mausoleums.
- Monuments.
- Obelisks and others
All of the above monuments are dedicated to outstanding historical events in the history of the state and its people.
Eternal Flame
One of the most prominent sights of Nizhny Novgorod is the Eternal Flame memorial complex. It is located on the territory of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin. This monumental ensemble was founded in 1965,then the settlement was called the city of Gorky. The monument is dedicated to the feats of arms and the merits of the heroes of the Second World War. This place is of great importance for the residents of the city, because a lot of people laid down their lives for a peaceful sky for their children and great-grandchildren. On May 9, 1970, the T-134 tank was installed on the territory of the memorial. In 1980, a guard of honor was organized near him, consisting of schoolchildren.
In the center of the monumental ensemble is the Eternal Flame. The memorial complex itself consists of two black stelae. Near the first, the height of which does not exceed one and a half meters, there are many gilded wreaths. This is a kind of symbol of missing soldiers. The second stele depicts two fighters. Also on it are written the dates of the beginning and end of the war. On the back is an inscription about the glory of the Gorky people who died in the battles for the independence and freedom of our Motherland.
Opening of the first Eternal Flame
The constantly burning Eternal Flame symbolizes the memory of some significant event or person. The continuous burning of the flame is maintained by the supply of gas to a certain place. Very often the Eternal Flame enters the memorial complexes, it is practically a constant neighbor of this monumental structure.
The first such complex with the Eternal Flame was an architectural monument built under the Arc de Triomphe in Paris (France) in 1921. This is one of the first memorials dedicated to soldiers who fell in battle.
Memorial Complex of Glory
It was opened the day before 65anniversary of the victory in the war - May 8, 2010. This is the largest structure of its kind in the North Caucasus. It is located in the center of the city of Grozny. The construction of the monument took about 6 months.
The famous building occupies more than 5 hectares of area. At the entrance to the memorial there is a monument to the former commander, Hero of the Soviet Union, Movlid Visaitov. The monument is quadrangular in shape and consists of 2 levels. The first underground is the museum of the first president of the Chechen Republic A. Kadyrov. The upper level, which the memorial complex has, is various retrospectives with images that reveal key episodes of the Second World War. In the same part, there are portrait bas-reliefs of forty heroes of the Great Patriotic War, as well as people of various nationalities who lived on the territory of the republic during this period of time.
The top level is crowned with a huge glass dome. Above the central part of the memorial there is a gilded spire 40 meters high. It is stylized as a military medieval Chechen tower. Along the entire perimeter of the architectural ensemble there is a park - the Walk of Fame. There are forty memorial plates installed here. The names of the inhabitants of Chechnya who participated in the Great Patriotic War are written on them.
On the topmost tier of the structure is the Eternal Flame, which burns in memory of the heroes who defended the independence and freedom of our Motherland. On solemn dates, more than 15 thousand people will be able to visit the memorial complex at the same time and honor the memory of the heroes. The monument is equipped with twotelevision screens on which various videos are broadcast. Unfortunately, not all memorial complexes are of such a large scale.

The largest cultural objects of our country dedicated to the Second World War in memory of the victory of the Soviet people over Nazi Germany:

Are memorial complexes and monuments needed in our time? Today's youth are less and less interested in stories. Nevertheless, the current generation should not forget about significant dates, heroes and various feats committed in the name of peace throughout the earth. It is the memorials with the Eternal Flame that will remind us of this.
