Cemetery Mausoleum Soldiers of the Soviet Army in Warsaw was created in 1949-50, it was opened on the 5th anniversary of the surrender of Germany. Soldiers were fighting for Warsaw in the ranks of the 1st Belarussian Front.
The authors of the necropolis project were: Polish architect, representative of modernism - Bohdan Kazimierz Lachert and Polish architect of greenery and painter - Wladyslaw Niemirski. The cemetery occupies an area of 19 hectares, there are 834 graves on it.
The axis of the necropolis is the main avenue, leading to the granite obelisk. This 21-meter monument was erected here in honor of the heroic attitude of the Soviet soldiers who had fallen as they struggled for Warsaw between 1944 and 1945 - something like the inscription on it.
Beside the obelisk, sculptures "Heroes" by Jerzy Jarnuszkiewicz and Stanisław Lisowski's "Sacrifice" were placed on both sides of the obelisk.
