Before entering the heart of the Soviet Memorial, the path first leads through an impressive entrance marked by two majestic triumphal arches made of grey granite. These arches, standing on either side of the path, act as silent guardians of history and set a striking sign of respect and recognition.The inscription engraved on the arches, which pays tribute to the brave soldiers who "fell for the freedom and independence of the socialist homeland", is not only a reminder of the victims of the war, but also a warning to future generations. The clear and concise words remind us of how high the price of peace and freedom often is.The triumphal arch is not only an architectural masterpiece that adorns the entrance to the memorial, but it also conveys a sense of awe and silent remembrance.
