On the eve of the day of the border guard in the hero city of Murmansk in 2013, a monument to the Arctic border guards was unveiled. Over the pedestal, symbolizing the harsh northern rocks, border sign rises. Around him froze three border guards guarding the land, sea ​​and air border. They stand back to back, with weapons at the ready, and at their feet a faithful friend stood forever - border dog. Together with the defenders of the borders of the homeland Ivan Melnikov immortalized in bronze the legendary border post A35, which stood on the Musta-Tunturi ridge. First hit The border guards received German troops on June 29, 1941. For several years they fought bravely on the banks of the rivers Titovka and Lotta, on the Musta-Tunturi ridge and under Kandalaksha. It was on the Kola Peninsula that the enemy could not completely cross the Soviet border.

Thanks for the monument!

The author of the monument to the border guards of the Arctic is the honored sculptor of Russia Ivan Melnikov from the city of Smolensk. The monument is located in a cozy park near the Murmansk Regional Drama Theater. This attracts many residents and visitors to the city. The monument is dedicated to the feat of the border guards in defending the borders of the Motherland during the Great Patriotic War. Many years have passed since Victory Day, and border guards still reliably cover the country's northwestern borders.
