    On both sides along the main axis, at the end of which rises a 33.5 m high syenite obelisk, are eight burial chambers, in each of which 1,182 Red Army soldiers were buried. Below the Obelisk's Hall of Honor is a crypt in which two Soviet colonels were buried. A memorial stone behind the obelisk commemorates Soviet victims of the concentration camps. The fact that Soviet prisoners of war are also commemorated in this memorial is a special feature, because under Joseph Stalin, prisoners of war were generally seen as potential collaborators. In front of the obelisk is the main monument, a statue of the Russian "Motherland" mourning the loss of her fallen son. At the base of the obelisk, which is made of black porphyry blocks, are 42 bronze plaques with the names of fallen officers.
