Introducing Manzhouli Martyrs Park
The Soviet Red Army Martyrs Park was built in the early 20th century. Prior to its establishment, it was a street park. In the early morning of August 9, 1945, after fierce fighting, the Soviet Red Army liberated Manchuria. To commemorate the Soviet Red Army martyrs who died in battle, the Manchuria People's Government built the Soviet Red Army Martyrs Cemetery and the Red Army Martyrs Memorial Tower on the site in November 1945. The 17.18-meter-tall memorial tower bears the inscription in Russian: "Glory forever to the heroes who sacrificed for the honor and victory of the Soviet Union."
This memorial tower records the unforgettable history of more than half a century ago. On every major festival, people would offer bouquets of flowers and wreaths to express their grief and respect for the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for world peace.
