The alley of heroes was opened on the site of the former city wooden one-story military enlistment office (pictured below), from where, during the Great Patriotic War, the inhabitants of Syktyvkar were called up and sent to the front. This building for all the draftees of Syktyvkar during the Great Patriotic War began the road to the front. During the war years, according to official figures, 13,940 Syktyvkar residents were called up to the ranks of the defenders of the motherland. Of these, about 5 thousand soldiers and officers from Syktyvkar died in battle and died from severe wounds in hospitals and hospitals. Years after the end of World War II, on the site of the old military enlistment office between the buildings of the Press House and the building of the Presidium of the KSC of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences the Alley of Heroes is spread. Flowerbeds began to decorate her, separated by paved walkways. Prior to reconstruction of the Alley of Heroes, direct access from Karl Marx Street near the Printing House was open to ul. Communist, and now the flower garden and sidewalk are blocking the way, and the Alley of Heroes from this time began to resemble a square. In the 1970s, the Avenue of Heroes was more spacious and lighter and was more like a boulevard in the city center.

Already built a new site, lined with concrete slabs. In the center of the site is a rectangular elevation (stylobate) measuring 6 x 12 m and a height of 0.6 m, lined with red-brown granite. A bronze bowl for “eternal flame” is set on it and the inscription is carved: “In memory of the fallen - native land”. The site is ready for the installation of a sculptural composition. Memorial "Eternal Glory" The bronze sculpture represents the grieving women - the wife (in the center), the daughter and mother of the soldier. The woman in the center brings to the bowl a cedar branch, twined with ribbons. Memorial objects in the form of defensive barriers are located next to the monument on the sides. Surnames and names of 5693 soldiers who died in battles are immortalized on aluminum plates

A beautiful, symbolic monument to the people who won the Great Patriotic War.

Inspires respect. Locals call the memorial "Women roast a crocodile", because the wreath in the hands of women is in a funny way reminiscent of a crocodile that is held above the fire

Wonderful monument. Purely. Everlasting memory....
