Unfortunately, our generation started
forgetting the exploit of our ancestors,
who changed the face of the world to a
great extent. Many architects build
monuments to maintain memory.

One of these monuments is
situated in Rostov-on-Don.
It was created by Sergey Isakov
in 2014 in honor of 100 years
since the beginning of the war.

The monument is a 3.5-meter-high
bronze figure of a a severe soldier,
in uniform, with a straight back,
and a serious look, with a rifle on
his shoulder.

It was opened on August 1, 2014, on the day of
Russia's entry into the war. The grand opening
was attended by the mayor of the city,
representatives of city administration, and local
Cossacks.

This monument is situated in the public square
of Rostov-on-Don at the junction of
Karsnoarmeyskaya street and Khalturinsky lane
near College of Radioelectronics, Information
and Industrial Technologies.

Next summer I am
going to visit
Rostov-on-Don and
I definitely want to
see this modest and
worthy monument
with my own eyes.

Everyone need to honor the memory of people,
who died for our country, who provided us
peace. As M.U.Lermontov said "A person,
who do not know his past , has no future"
